and it is not a battle with the county governments. This Motion is about the children of this nation. Kenya is a signatory to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG No.4 requires that by 2030, all girls and boys should have access to free quality primary and secondary education.

We must build a culture where our children believe that it is only hard work that will take them somewhere, not a ministerial appointment or liaison with those in Government.
