    "content": "Government has not achieved an “A”. They have scored a B+ (Plus) or B (Plain). They are doing very well and not badly. If they were to deal with the issues of teachers they would be doing well. They have really failed on that side. The President mentioned the 3,000 kilometres of road as having been done. I appreciate the tarmacking of those roads. How I wish that part of those 3,000 kilometres was in Bomet! I understand that the Jubilee Government decided that those roads the Government had committed itself to do under the Coalition Government would be completed first. Hon. Mbadi is a beneficiary. I saw a road going to Mbita, which is not a path. I have gone there for tour and it is a good road. I saw the road from Migori to Kehancha. We appreciate. I wish we can now move ahead to implement those ones which were planned by the Jubilee Government like the ones in Bomet. I am happy that the President is planning to come to Bomet to launch one from Daraja Sita-Chebole-Kanusin in my Constituency all the way to Dikirr in Trans Mara. We also hope to see other roads which are earmarked like the Silibwet to Olenguruone Road in Kiptagich through the Mau Forest being done so that we can be connected to the other side of Nakuru County and improve our business relationship and communication with them. Those roads within my constituency like the one from Tegat, Singorwet and Kapmusa and the one in Kapsimotwa will expand Bomet Town. This is if they are tarmacked. We are looking forward to seeing these roads being done. I also appreciate the way we are using the funds given to us as Members of Parliament, through the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), to effectively improve the road network especially in marraming. In one of my wards, namely Mutarakwa Ward, we have done about seven or eight roads which have never been done since Independence. If you go there, the people will tell you that when this guy took over the seat he has done miracles on this side. I am very happy with it and we will continue. We are not discriminating. We balance all the works in our constituency to ensure that we open up all the sides. With regard to the education sector, I want to commend the Jubilee Government for what it has done, especially on the issue of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) in ensuring that the KCSE and KCPE examinations are free. The scrapping of the registration fee has ensured that it does not matter which background you come from; you are still going to sit the examination and access education. That is a positive thing in the right direction. The connection of electricity to nearly all primary schools is something positive which has shifted the Jubilee scorecard. It is doing very well. The issue of starting technical institutions to ensure that there are more blue-collar jobs is a good thing. The only area that the Jubilee Government has really failed in is on the issue of teachers. The issue of teachers has not been addressed very well. The Jubilee Government gets a D+ (Plus) in that area. It has failed on that side. Even the issue of unionisation, which is not recognised in law in terms of union membership, is working against the democratic space. That is one area which we need to correct to ensure that we increase the democratic space which we have in this country by appreciating that unions play a very important role in ensuring that teachers---"
