"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Ministry to take up the responsibility of paying school fees and assisting the poor children to get the best chance. Otherwise, we are trading on a very dangerous ground. You will find that countries like Phillipines, China or even Uganda--- There are many students from Kenya who go to Uganda to study. Why do our children go to Uganda? Uganda does not offer quality education to warrant many Kenyans to go there. Many students study in Uganda because of low school fees. The number of Kenyan students who are in Uganda today is probably equal to the number of students in Egerton University. The poor do not have anywhere to go. They do not have any opening. The opening is now to go outside. They now go to Phillipines and Uganda for degree programmes because the fees charged in Kenya is very high. Those who try very hard are left with the option of deciding where to take their children. The children of the rich are the ones who get loan facilities, employment and nice education. It is very important that the Ministry Education thinks about what to do with the children who are willing to study. There are very many children who are disciplined and who want to study but the problem is raising fees."
