    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the onset, I would like to welcome the students. It is quite interesting that we are talking about these students yet we have a Ministry of Education which seems to be misguided on how to build the future generation. I went to Narok High School which was by then very poor. I graduated with a mean grade of C+ and got admitted to the university. When I was in the university in the United States of America (USA), I managed to improve my grade to 4.0. Although a house that is built on shaky ground sometimes may not stand but we, the pastoralists, which this policy is targeting, go through hardship even to go through primary school. You might come there bold with a policy but you are completely misguided. This House cannot stand with such policies. We have to defend our people. What will we tell those youths? If we do not defend the youths who were sent home because they had a mean grade of D+, the level of crime; call it Al Shabaa b or Mungiki, will skyrocket. What will we be doing then? It is completely ludicrous. We have to change that. We cannot allow certain Government policies to destroy our economy. The future generation depends on our support. I hope and trust that the Chairperson of the Committee on Education will take up this matter fully. It is high time that you invited those Cabinet Secretaries to come and tell us what is it that they smoke in the morning before they come up with these policies."
