    "content": "no better way to invest in education than dedicating adequate resources to ensure that all our children access both primary and secondary education. With the advent of technical training institutes across many of our constituencies, we will have a very well-skilled labour force in this country that will take up the numerous opportunities that will come about. Our manifesto also spoke about the establishment of industries in each county. For us to provide labour to the industries that will be set up in each county, we must train the right skills in our constituencies. The allocation of money towards the free secondary education programme will go a long way in doing that. There is an old adage that ran in a Tusker beer advert on television some years back that stated that it has no equal, but makes us equal. That is very true with regard to education. Education has no equal and will make us all equal as a country. It will make children from Turkana, Kikuyu or in the City of Nairobi equal. It is the free education that we intend to give to our children that will make them equal. Hon. Deputy Speaker I, therefore, support the Motion and urge Members to support it. I also ask those who will be serving in this committee to support the Chair, Hon. Limo. I served with him in the last Parliament and he is a very dedicated person in terms of House business. I, therefore, urge all the Members in this committee and, indeed, the other Members of the House to support this committee to expedite the business before it. The fact that this is an ad hoc committee means it will end its business with the adoption of the Supplementary Budget. Therefore, I urge the House to support the Motion."
