    "content": "and make sure that teachers are well paid to ensure that the quality of education for the youngsters is high. I will also talk about special need cases in our counties. In Nyamira County, there are very few centres for children with special needs and, therefore they travel very far. The physically challenged students have to go to Joyland in Kisumu because such institutions are not in Nyamira County. We have a few which deal with those with mental conditions, but they are not well equipped. This is where we need to ensure that there are teachers who will take care of those students. People who go for special training are very few. The Ministry has to do something to ensure that special needs kids are catered for. They should ensure that they train enough personnel to take care of them. It ranges from mental, visual and physically disabled students. Another thing is on payment which I have talked about. When it comes to free primary education, which we have said is compulsory, where do we place somebody who takes children to a private institution? He must pay. They will pay for quality and, therefore, they have to weigh. However, we need to look for a criterion for those people who will register those institutions. When do I go for the registration of an institution? Is it before or after I have built the structure or premise or is it before the construction with the intention of wanting to have that institution? It should be clear where I will place it. Is it me as the proprietor to decide where I am going to put the institution? You may find others wanting to go where the population is or where the infrastructure, like roads, are. Another thing that we need to think about is the transportation of young kids to schools. The vehicles they use are old. They are not supposed to carry such kids to school. Those standards should be felt and if all that is done, we will have somewhere to start from and we will raise children of high quality who can defend our country in future. Thank you. I support the Bill."
