    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Ali. It is clear in the Constitution that education is a social right to every child. It is a very painful reality that Northern Kenya has lagged behind in education for many years. This Motion is timely because performance of schools in this region is not good. As a result, people from there are disadvantaged in job opportunities because of lack of education. If I may be candid, when it comes to performance of children in schools, there are many variables that come into play. Some independent variables will have impact on the dependent variables. In the case of North Eastern, for example, the independent variables come in to play. They have a direct impact on the performance of schools in North Eastern. There is need to investigate thoroughly the cause of independent variables that have a direct impact on the performance. For instance, the issue of insecurity has led to the death of some teachers in that region. In Article 43(e) of the Constitution, everyone has a right to social security. So, the teachers in North Eastern have a right to security. If they are not guaranteed of their security, they will be psychologically affected and not deliver. Having taught in a secondary school and the university, I can confidently say performance cannot be a one man show, but it takes concerted effort. The tripartite relationship of parents, students and teachers is important. We cannot ignore this fact. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
