    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I thank my distinguished colleague from Wajir County for bringing it before the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, the state of education in Northern Kenya and unlike the wide definition which was given by my colleague from Bungoma, we are specifically talking of regions like Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and, to some extent, Marsabit and Tana River which have the same similarities in this particular situation. First of all, I thank the gallant sons and daughters of Kenya who have contributed to the education of the children of Northern Kenya from time in memorial to today. Many teachers who have taught in those schools came from outside that region. We were taught by teachers who came from as far as the former Nyanza, parts of Eastern, Western and Coast regions. In fact, it is important to recognize the contribution that those sons and daughters of Kenya made to that region. It is not the first time that we are having non- locals teaching in that region. It has been there before, it has worked and succeeded. We have never had a situation where people talked about racism or abuse because of religious or cultural differences. In fact, this is something which is coming up today. It is unfortunate. 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."
