"content": "I was not born then, but I read that Mzee Jomo Kenyatta talked passionately about education because he knew education would equalise everybody; the poor and the rich, those from well-off families and those from poor families. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will be shocked that even the Speaker who was sitting here before you came, was from a very rich family. She is one of the Kalenjin doctors. When I was 15 or 16 years old, I used to milk cows in our home, but education has equalised me with her. Today, we sit in the same House. We have almost the same number of degrees and we do almost the same things. Education is the best equaliser. This is the best thing that we can give to our children. The drafters of the Constitution in Articles 43 and 53 did not even want to cast doubt. Article 53 (b) says that: “Every child has the right to free and compulsory basic education.”"
