    "content": "House. It was passed and Dr. Matiang’i has now been made to appreciate that ranking of schools is not harmful. We must reward excellence. When we rank schools, we must also say the conditions under which they operate. This is because when you rank Alliance Boys High School, Mang’u High School and Friends School Kamusinga, then we should look at other schools at different levels because you cannot say that Alliance Boys High School is the best school in Kenya. How do you compare it with a school down the hill as you go towards Kaimosi? How do you compare Kingwayo Primary School with Makini School and then say that Makini School is the best? Kingwayo Primary School does not even have a classroom; children sit on stones. I went to some area called Maikona in Marsabit where you go to a school and you wonder whether it is a school and whether that is Kenya. That child there is going to be ranked with a child in a school in Nairobi. It is not fair. We must compare the like with the like. I want to encourage the Senate Majority Leader that the Senate is saying that these boards are going to do what the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), well funded and established with a good reputation is doing. It is not necessary. If you look at the quality of people who are going to be put on those boards, they are unlikely to meet this challenge. The Muslims will send an Imam on the basis of his loyalty to his mosque while Catholics will send a priest on the basis of his loyalty to his bishop."
