    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I have listened to the Statement being sought by the Member for Embakasi Central, Hon. Mejjadonk Mwangi Gathiru, and I just had a conversation with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and thought that particular Statement is better placed in his Committee. First, it is a matter that the Committee has been handling and there are indeed issues of concern, and I want to identify myself with the sentiments of Hon. Mwangi. We must not be seen to be punishing Members who have invested a lot of resources in building infrastructure for schools in their constituencies. In fact, it should be the other way around; we should have an incentive for Members to allocate more resources towards the building of school infrastructure. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education tells me that these are matters they have been dealing with as a Committee, and I would kindly request that they commit that particular matter before the Committee so that they can give us a reasoned and well considered report after their engagements with other stakeholders in the education sector including the Cabinet Secretary. It will not suffice to just listen to the Cabinet Secretary without the benefit of what the Committee has been doing."
