    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other comment I want to make is about the books. I have been a Member of Parliament for two terms in the constituency and teachers and principals have been complaining about the textbooks. Since the publishers get contracts directly from the Ministry of Education, they dump books in those schools without even knowing whether they require them or not. Therefore, the Statement by Sen. Mundigi needs a lot of attention because the schools should just be given capitation so that they can buy what is necessary or what they need at that particular time. On the other issue about the Morocco Embassy and what happened, this matter has been on this Floor since yesterday and your office has been mentioned severally by Senators in this House. With a lot of humility, I would request the Committee dealing with this matter to bring a Statement or a report because they can engage the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, so that we can protect your image as our Speaker and the office that you hold. You know you are the President of the Senate. We also need to put the matter straight, so that when you are chairing this session, your name does not appear so much on this Floor. I wish this matter can rest and the Committee concerned to come up with just a brief report to put the facts clear. Maybe communication is what the PS did not do in a good manner. If his intention was to correct you that this is the position of the Government, the European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN), then he should have done it formerly to you or visited your office so that he could clarify the exact position. However, responding to you on Twitter was very not good. I thank you for your magnanimity this morning. You have given us a lot of airtime as we come close to the end of this session. I hope when we open next year, you will continue with the same magnanimity because when Senators speak on the Floor, they communicate to the voters who brought them to this House. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you very much."
