    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this very important adjournment Motion. I also want to appreciate Hon. Tindi for bringing it. I want to begin by sending my condolences to the family and friends of the departed souls. It is very unfortunate that, as a country, we are in a very sad state of affairs. You can send your child to school to learn and he comes back in a coffin. It is very scary and worrying. The Kenyan parents are worried about such kind of situation. A lot has been said regarding this case. We have heard of food poisoning, water and sanitation. We have policies on sanitation and hygiene in our schools. The biggest problem that we have is implementation. If all the policies can be implemented, such kind of situations can be avoided in our schools. Today, we are speaking of two, three or four schools. If we are not careful and we do not make the necessary follow-ups that are supposed to be done in our schools, this situation can escalate. When we were in school, we used to have frequent inspections. What happened to them? Where did they disappear to? There are people who are sleeping on the job and they need to wake up from that slumberland. We, as a country, cannot continue to lose our children in school because of people who are not doing their jobs. I really appreciate that Hon. Tindi has brought this Motion for Adjournment so that we can discuss such kind of a situation. As schools close, we want to see action. We want to see our schools being cleaned, inspected and the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education moving with speed to make sure that our schools are safe for our children. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Motion."
