This is a very important petition from Laikipia County that I believe speaks for all Kenyans from all counties. The rough example of Nairobi is that a child in Lavington will have the benefit of getting proper ECDE but a child in Korogocho, Mathare or elsewhere, will not even know what a library or a textbook look like. These two children will be expected to sit for the same examination in Class Eight or Form Four. This is a good petition that if we consider appropriately, it is going to help many Kenyans especially from poor backgrounds and rural areas."}
