    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for granting me this opportunity to speak to this problem, which is a national crisis. As a mother and a grandmother coming from Kakamega County, where this problem has been realised, three of the schools in my county have been affected, namely the Sacred Heart Mukumu Girls High School, St. Peters Mumias Boys High School, and Butere High School. I am greatly touched by this problem. On the emerging issues, one of them is congestion. When we introduced the 100 per cent enrolment secondary schools over enrolled students, causing congestion. A school like Mukumu Girls High School, which should be hosting 1,000 students is now hosting more than 2,000 students. So, there is congestion in classrooms, dormitories, and all other facilities. With this expansion, water management has not improved. You will find that most schools use boreholes and the water is not treated. The water points are also not enough for these students, and yet water is life. Looking at the case of Mukumu Girls High School, it has since been found that the water that they drink was mixed with sewer. That is the report that I have just heard, and it is very sad. We need to look at the water system. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
