    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the alleged rise in cases of teenage pregnancies during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) Explain reasons for the alleged rise in adolescent pregnancies during school holidays as well as whenever there is an interruption in the normal school calendar, with reference to the over 28,000 school-going children according to the Kenya Health Information Systems (KHIS) across the nation whose education will be affected due to pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Outline the steps the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology intends to take, if any, to ensure that school-going girls do not become sexual preys due to the interrupted school calendar. (3) Elucidate measures, if any, that have been put in place to ensure that the men responsible for the teenage pregnancies are punished for their actions. I thank you."
