The previous speaker has said that it de-motivates but, to me, ranking motivates good performance, particularly amongst the teachers. Two weeks ago, I attended a function in Hon. Wamalwa’s constituency where the best principal and best teacher of the year had been identified in Mombasa. The teachers went to Mombasa for a seminar. It was motivating. Those who were ranked first were given some rewards so that they can do better in future. Similarly, and this is a submission, we compete everywhere. Prof. Kaimenyi came and said that we should not rank schools. But I am here as a Member because I beat my opponents hands down in politics. The President of this country is in office because he beat his opponents. Ranking has been there since time immemorial. When I did my Form Four examination, I had my Division One with 15 points. So, I joined the best school at that time; namely, Maseno School. From there, I did my Form Four examination and pursued the best course based on how I performed. So, ranking is good. I want to thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa for coming up with this Bill."}
