    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education. The state of education in North Eastern Province, right now, is in a very pathetic state. We continue to hold the tail in all national examinations in the country to the extent that some districts, like my district, are not sending even a single student to the university through the Joint Admissions Programme. In the statement, he should indicate why the Provincial Director of Education (PDE), who since his posting, which is over two years today, has not visited any of the schools in the province; even a school which is hardly 200 meters from him; and, why he has not travelled to Garissa Town and yet, he is still being maintained as the PDE? He should also indicate his official role, home and the social joints that he frequents. He should also indicate why the failed Delocalization Policy for Education in North Eastern Province has not been abandoned by the Ministry. We all know the original idea of delocalization was meant to bring the cream of education managers from other successful provinces to replicate the same in North Eastern Province. He should also tell us why they continue to post to North Eastern Province, officers who are sent there for discipline purposes. I wish he could give us the immediate steps, as a matter of policy, the Government intends to take to arrest this terrible state of education in North Eastern Province? Owing to that situation, we would want this Ministerial Statement to be brought to the Floor of the House as soon as possible."
