    "content": "us to diligently undertake your national duty while appreciating that your dedication to your constituents and the nation is paramount. Hon. Members, you may also recall that I had informed the House of the temporary suspension of Question Time to afford newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries time to familiarise themselves with their respective dockets. Noting the passage of time since Cabinet Secretaries assumed their new responsibilities, and following consultations with the Leader of the Majority Party, I now wish to inform the House that we will resume Question Time starting tomorrow, Wednesday, 18th September 2024. In this regard, and as indicated in the Notice of Questions in today’s Order Paper, the Cabinet Secretary for Education is scheduled to appear in plenary tomorrow afternoon to respond to, among other matters, the progress in implementing the commitments made during a Members’ Kamukunji held on Tuesday, 20th August 2024, regarding the New Higher Education Funding Model. Additionally, the Cabinet Secretary shall also address other issues of concern in the education sector. That includes incidents of school fires and unrest across the country, and the general safety of our learners. Particular attention shall be paid to the tragic incident at the Hillside Endarasha Academy in Nyeri County, where we unfortunately lost 21 learners. This incident represents a tragic loss to the nation. The House must be fully apprised of its cause and the remedial measures the Ministry proposes to take. On behalf of the House and indeed on my own behalf, I extend our deepest condolences to the affected families. The Member Kieni has requested me to accord him an opportunity tomorrow, to make a Statement on the incident. I will do so. Having said that, Hon. Members, may I request that we all stand to observe a minute of silence in honour of the young departed souls?"
