    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to respond. I want to thank hon. Members who have contributed to this Bill and those who have had concerns, for instance, people from marginalised communities. That is why this Bill is specifically talking about structured ranking. We are going to have different strata depending on different circumstances. National schools cannot be ranked together with the county schools because they have different circumstances. That has to be taken care of. Ranking has been there since time immemorial because scholars like Abraham Maslow had hierarchy of needs; physiological, safety, love, esteem and self actualisation. We want what is in line with Article 35 of the Constitution whereby Kenyans have a right to information. Ranking used to be a function of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) so that it is publicised and given to the people. It is also a basis of allocation of resources. Those who do well should be rewarded. For instance, Trans Nzoia County has been number one in the whole country. The Teacher and the Principal of the Year were both from Trans Nzoia County. My schools have also done very well. With teachers signing contracts, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) must have a basis of promoting teachers. Students’ performance can be a key indicator in measuring performance. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move."
