    "content": "constituency in Nairobi that has about three schools. I am expected to develop all my schools from the same kitty and be at par or with a constituency in Nairobi that has only three schools. So, we have so many condemned structures in schools yet we are still talking of 100 per cent transition of pupils from primary to secondary school. It beats logic. We are talking of equity and equality in this country, but when it comes to resource allocation, it is not seen to be done. So, we disadvantage some areas. If we continue that way, we will never achieve equity. We have many schools that are a disaster waiting to happen. We have reports that have been given by the Ministry of Public Works that those schools are not good for our children, but then we still continue doing business as usual. Finally, there is the issue of staffing. The ratio of pupils to teachers is something that is worrying us yet we are talking of actualising such a beautiful Paper. We must be true to ourselves. The Executive must do what they are supposed to do in terms of staffing. Instead of preaching the gospel of free primary and secondary education, they must fund it adequately, so that we can have enough teachers in our schools. As much as I support, I have my reservations. There is much more than needs to be done now because I think this Paper is for the future. With those remarks, I support."
