    "content": "We have dealt with this issue before. It is so worrying because we might lose a whole generation of young Kenyans because of the way they are being mishandled education-wise. In the case we handled initially, we invited the Cabinet Secretary. We all agreed that some affirmative action had to be done. The affirmative action that was done was not acceptable to the TSC but they did not tell us that in time. So, there was a problem because they rejected candidates who were already in the teacher training colleges being trained to be teachers in these schools. This time, I request as a way forward that when we have our discussion as a Committee, we want as many Members as possible in this House to come so that all of us come up with a way forward that is going to last. Secondly, I agree that there has to be a form of affirmative action because in the Committee stage, we also felt that we must have the right affirmative action. If that is not the right affirmative action as per TSC, we must come up with a different one because we cannot afford to have a generation of children who are mis-educated."
