    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Kibwana for requesting a Statement on the closure of Kabarnet School for the deaf. Last week, I had a chance to reach out to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of education. The Member of Parliament for Baringo Central did the same too. We were given assurance that the school will be reopened and that Government will facilitate the provision of food and other amenities. I am shocked that to date, they have not done so. This is an unfortunate situation. You are talking of children in a condition where they do not have food and their teachers are not being paid. As we speak about the situation in Kabarnet Baringo County, it is important that the Government look at these schools across the country. Sometimes we do not give them appropriate attention like we give to the other institutions. I thank my sister for this Statement. I request the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Education to fulfil the promise and assurance he gave. He said that he was going to act immediately in ensuring the school is reopened, so that our students can learn."
