    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, otherwise, I support this Motion that there has to be a balancing act; whether it is balancing in access or opportunities. If we balance regular and parallel we might miss the point because we are also balancing those who are from the middle income group who are bold enough to go to the parallel. But there is a whole group of Kenyans from low income families. There are even students with Grade “B” who go to Teachers Training Colleges (TTC) or Medical Training Colleges (MTC) because there is nothing they can do. They will obviously confess to you: “In fact, if you can make me a cleaner, I will be very happy”. These Members know this fact because we have always been confronted by families who do not have anything. You will find somebody with a child who has a Grade “B” minus saying: “Please, look for a cleaner’s job for this child, so that he child can come and help us to pay school fees for the child who is in secondary school”. We find that the current system is utilizing the failures in our education funding system to catalyse poverty within the low income group. You make a person with “B” Minus a cleaner and he has no much income. The little income he gets goes to secondary schools education to save his brothers and sisters from dropping out of secondary school. So, they remain at that level."
