"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the preparedness of schools to deal with the effects of heavy rains and associated challenges. The rains pounding various parts of the country have resulted in flash floods affecting many citizens, including school-going children. In the recent past, floods have not only caused closure of schools but have also led to loss of lives, destroyed school infrastructure, made roads inaccessible, displaced families and increased disease outbreak. Regrettably, this has had an impact on school attendance and subsequent poor academic performance by school children. In these circumstances, school preparedness is a growing concern as it involves the accessibility and safety of school facilities and other items of importance to learning. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. What is the state of preparedness by the government ahead of next week’s reopening of schools plan under such prevailing rainy conditions? 2. Could the Ministry state the number of learning institutions affected by the ongoing heavy rains in the country? 3. What financial assistance or support is in place for schools affected by floods in the country? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. Pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding exploitation of farmers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Miraa is one of the most profitable cash crops in Kenya that feeds international as well as national markets. Notably, in 2015 Parliament amended the Crops Act to ensure recognition of miraa as a cash crop and to obligate the national government to establish mechanisms for its promotion, production, distribution and marketing. Sadly, it has been reported that miraa farmers are being exploited by cartels who manipulate the prepressing and distribution of the product in the market. For instance, transport of miraa products to Mogadishu, being one of the biggest consumers of miraa, is approximately one and a half times more costly as compared to other products to the same destination. Additionally, those cartels dictate the kind of airline that transports the product, the quantity to be transported, and the specific market destination. This is exploitative, unjust and impoverishes farmers who toil in the farm. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development through the Departmental Committee of Agriculture and Livestock on the following:"
