"content": "We would like the Senate to help us so that things go back to where they were. People from that region should be encouraged to train as teachers so that we encourage more students to become teachers. As I talk, 3,265 student teachers have been sent home. What will happen to them? What will they feel about this country? What is their fate? It is unfortunate. We would like the Government of Kenya to be the Government of everybody. The administration of President Kenyatta should state clearly that that region is not part of Kenya because we are tired. The Committee should take its job seriously so that we deal with this matter once and for all. I ask you to support us. It should not be taken that what we are asking for is imaginary. They need to do something even if it means those students doing bridging courses. We are talking of ensuring 100 per cent transition. Why conduct examination in Class Eight and have pupils who score 100 marks join secondary schools yet those who score D+ cannot join teachers training colleges? This is a fallacy which we will not accept. We will fight to the end. I thank you."
