"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The first question relates to what Sen. Eddie has asked. This is about preparations on the admission to Grade 9, which the CS has handled very well. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is, what arrangements are there even as we gear towards 2026 when we are going to admit the first lot in the Senior Secondary School, which is Grade 10? I am asking this specifically in order for the Cabinet Secretary to let the House know because we know that there are going to be three pathways in secondary schools, as we know them today. There will be STEM, arts and sports and languages and business. So, the clarification that I am seeking is, will we have specific schools offering specific pathways or all schools in Grade 10 will offer all the three pathways? That is my first question. Number two, and which concerns me as Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education, because people keep calling us, is from an appearance by the Permanent Secretary for Basic Education at the National Assembly, where he said that the Government or the Ministry is being forced to reduce capitation to secondary school students, which has stood above Kshs22,000. The PS reported that because of the growing numbers of students in secondary schools, the Ministry has been forced to reduce this to Kshs17, 000 for every student. My question is because we know that the allocation to the Ministry of Education was highest this year, that is, the budgetary allocation. Are there no internal mechanisms of seeing to it that we allocate more to capitation from whatever has been allocated, so that students continue receiving the Kshs22,000, if not more?"

"content": "I have two questions. On the Question of Visa Oshwal question brought by Hon. Sifuna, it appears the Ministry has been losing successive cases to the Visa Oshwal community, one after another. Now, they have even gone to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court referred them to some environmental courts, but they have lost again. Why should you put 2,000 students in jeopardy? Why should the Ministry not consider it? If you cannot defeat them, join them. Why can you not consider it? That trustee is not individual or private, it is for that community called Oshwal. Why do you not negotiate with them, so that the school is managed by the public, by the Ministry, in perpetuity, and they continue to be there calling themselves trustees and the students are not jeopardized? Why do you not consider that option because we know schools where that happens? If you allow me, just another question altogether, on the one of Technical Training Colleges."

"content": "Yes, it is direct, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. What kind of representation do you have? Why do you keep on losing cases? I have a TTC in my constituency of Bondo, where it was so clear that I am the one who paid for the land, 10 acres for that TTC, but they lost the case. What kind of representation do you have legally for yourself? Why do you keep on losing such cases and how many faculties are supposed to be in a TTC or a Technical Training Institute (TTI)? In a TTI, how many faculties are you supposed to have because that one we have, we are supposed to have five, and we only have building and civil engineering? The others which were supposed to be there include mechanical, electrical, fibre, and none of them is there. How many are supposed to be there in a TTI?"
