In the statement, the committee should- (1) Provide a breakdown of the fee structure of Shimo La Tewa High School for the last five years and its utilization, outlining the rationale behind the consistent rise in fees for remedial classes, stating whether relevant stakeholders were engaged before the fee hike. (2) Outline the measures implemented by the Director of Schools Audit Services within the Ministry of Education to ensure compliance with Article 29(2)(A) of the Basic Education Act that states that no child shall be refused to attend school because of failure to pay such charges. (3) Investigate the whereabouts of the Kshs5 million fundraised by parents for the purchase of a school bus, as no such acquisition materialized, stating all other projects that the school has involved parents to initiate in the last five years; stating the amount the parents contributed and if they were issued any receipts. (4) Carry out any inquiry into the condition of dormitories at Shimo La tewa High School, particularly to address reports of students sleeping on the floor, despite fundraising for the construction of a dormitory which required parents to contribute Kshs10,000 each. (5) State the reasons for the sacking of six staff members and the criteria used to recruit 10 new staff members in 2024, detailing the date of the advertisement, names of those shortlisted and date when the interviews were conducted."
