Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to support this Petition. In fact, education is a basic human right. More than anything else, for us to uplift the most vulnerable in our societies, education is the gift that we can give them. Whereas, I support the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Research and Technology, I also believe that there is unnecessary and undue interference with educational fields. I think this might have led to escalation of indiscipline in institutions of learning. The other issue is that, I think the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) has actually tried to bring equality as far as education operations are concerned. I believe we should actually encourage and enforce the same activity of supporting education in counties. This is because the lower education is actually supposed to be supported by the county government. Unfortunately they have actually misused the funds. I think that is something that should actually be followed up. In conclusion, I believe it is the right of our children and especially the most vulnerable to get basic education and I think that must be enforced. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity and I think I will welcome them."}
