    "content": "All of us in this House, despite our age, represent citizens who require proper representation and understanding of this education system. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri here was the Minister of Education, Science and Technology. The problem with policies that are pushed to citizens is that people forget Article 10 that talks about public participation as an integral part of policy making. You could have the best policy ever heard on earth but as long as you are not carrying along the people, they feel alienated from that policy. Respectfully, my friend and former Vice Chancellor Prof. Magoha - who I have no doubt, ran the University of Nairobi very well despite, despite facing challenges here and there - I was a student leader during his time. I want to request him to start a proper process of public consultation so that everybody is carried along. I can see the point that Hon. Sossion and KNUT have. However, because of our previous politics of KNUT versus the Ministry and the Executive, we do not want to listen to that point. I think each one of us now needs to come to the table of conversation and have a genuine discussion about how this process will be implemented. The new curriculum has separated my children. My first born is in Class Five and is going on with the 8-4-4 system. The one who follows is in Class Three and the rest – I do not want to enumerate all of them here – will be victims of this education system."
