    "content": "On 8th March 2023, the House approved a Motion on the development of a policy on standardisation and production of school uniforms in the country. In the Motion, the House noted that the cost of uniforms has continued to escalate becoming prohibitively expensive for the majority of Kenyans with some schools demanding that parents source uniforms from the schools or specific suppliers. Notably, it is now close to seven months since the House made the resolution. However, there seems to be little or no effort being made by the Government to address this matter. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this backdrop that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation on the status of the development of a policy on standardisation and production of school uniforms in the country. Schools are about to go on a long holiday. Students will be going back to school in January 2024. If this issue is not addressed, we are staring at a very serious crisis because the cost of living is very high."
