    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education, regarding the death of Master Harders Kanyora Mutahi, a grade six pupil at Kimathi Primary School in Bahati, Makadara Constituency, Nairobi City County. Master Kanyora died in the school swimming pool on 11th October, 2023. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Detail the sequence of events surrounding the demise of Master Mutahi on that fateful day, specifying circumstances leading to his tragic death and whether it occurred within or outside the school premises. (2) Provide a comprehensive report on the school's actions upon confirming the death, the process of notifying the parents, details of the incident reporting and immediate responses by the authorities, including the Ministry of Education. (3) Examine claims of attempts to compromise the ongoing investigations as well as allegations of witness coaching, including the possibility of coercion or intimidation of fellow pupils who may have witnessed the events leading to the pupil's death. (4) Investigate allegations of abuse of office by the head teacher, including claims of religious discrimination, exorbitant fees charged for remedial teaching in contravention of directives from the Ministry of Education. (5) State any plans the Ministry of Education has put in place to ensure justice is served to the late Master Mutahi, including compensation to his parents, who have been devastated both psychologically and financially by the needless death. (6) Outline any measures by the school management and the Ministry of Education to ensure the security, safety and wellbeing of learners within Kimathi Primary School and other such institutions is enhanced from now on, while looking into the possibility of transferring the siblings of the deceased pupil, who may have been traumatized and also afraid of victimization and possible psychological torture. I thank you."
