    "content": "The Committee will conclude on this matter within the coming two weeks, prepare its report and respond to the petitioner in line with the provisions of the Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Committee induction and stakeholder engagements, the Committee conducted its induction retreat between 6th and 10th February, 2023 and met with stakeholders drawn from the Ministry of Education in order to understand education sector policy directions for each State Department and Agency, identify legislative gaps and priority areas for the 13th Parliament. The Committee further met with non-state actors and development partners to acquaint itself with their roles and functions in the implementation of the Education Sector policy and legal framework. During other engagements with stakeholders, the Committee also received submissions and views on different legislative and other business under its consideration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on county oversight visits, the Committee is scheduled to conduct county oversight visits during the recess in May to add to the evidence gathered during consideration of different legislative business that have been brought to its attention. Mr. Speaker, Sir, notably, the Committee will be seeking to confirm the reports received from the Council of Governors (CoGs) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) on the plight of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers and caregivers in the counties countrywide. The Committee believes that these county visits will also provide firsthand evidence and avail an opportunity for extended public participation. Mr. Speaker Sir, in conclusion, I wish to thank your office and that of the Clerk of the Senate for the continuous support extended to the Committee in the conduct and execution of its mandate. Lastly, I wish to thank Members of the Committee for their diligence and contributions during Committee activities. That is the perfect example of keeping time."
