civil society represented. But my question to the Chair is: Where are you going to put the church?

The Ayes have it and I am surprised. I am fairly surprised, never mind the fact that I hear. So, we will proceed. What it means, hon. Members, is that you have actually opposed all through and Members have proceeded to approve. That is it. For me, I take a neutral position. I put the Question and I am sure you understood.

The Catholic Church has played a critical role when it comes the education system in this country. For my friend, Hon. Dawood, we are particularly talking about the amendment. It is unfortunate that the Muslim Education Council does not exist. But my assumption is that it already exists. The good thing you can do is to bring an amendment so that we can put the right term of the body that already exists. For these ...

schools which are a national Government function. What value will it add to have the county government come in and yet, that function is not theirs?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the issue of private and public sectors because it is good to be specific. We have scenarios where people go to the private sector and still expect much, especially from the CDF. When you go to the private sector, it is assumed that you can afford. So, you do not have to come back to public institutions.
