    "content": "I know that we had the Office of the County Attorney Bill which was focusing on setting up a county office. We also had the Office of the County Printer Bill. Why can we not then develop systems where each county can be given a department that only produces textbooks that will be suitable for the students in that environment? I find it a bit hypocritical when you expect a child from an affluent neighbourhood to compete with a child from a village like the one I grew up in. It is about time the Committee on Education engaged in serious consultations with the Ministry of Education. If we transfer functions of an entire county like Nairobi City County, why can we not transfer these functions of education particularly printing books by the counties, so that we can ensure we that we have a balance? Sen. Mwaruma has said that a lot of books are stuck in libraries and yet those schools do not even have computer laboratories or laboratory facilities. We need to balance this out. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I support this Statement, I hope that the Committee will think outside the box in line with the kind of sentiments that I have shared on how we can ensure that we support these institutions. I thank you."
