    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, as I second, I think there is room for me to request the Senate Majority Leader to send my greetings and the greetings of the people of Kakamega County to the CS for Education, Dr. Fred Matiang’i. However, much as we appreciate the good work he is doing, he should also be measured. He should not be overzealous to direct that my wife cannot go to school to pray for my child when they are preparing to sit examinations. That is to allocate himself powers that he can never have. Why does he want to stop our children from being prayed for? Which parent can go and sneak examinations papers on prayer day to their children? We do not like that. We want to continue praying for our children in the only way we know. Personally, I do not know how to pray but whenever I go to visit my children on prayer day, I repeat to them what my father used to tell me. My father used to tell me that he did not know how to pray but his grandfathers proved themselves using the spear. He used to tell me that this days, you prove yourself using the pen. So, I repeat those words to my children and it makes a big difference. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I second this Bill, I would like to draw the attention of the Senate Majority Leader to Clause 3. Looking at how evolution is taking place in the country, it is becoming clear that even without the allocation of money for the function of education to governors, all the 47 governors are trying to do something for their schools on matters of infrastructure. Probably, the Senate Majority Leader should think whether or not this is the time for us to devolve funds from the national Government to county governments meant for infrastructure development, provision of instructional material and the other attendant purposes.
