    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to begin by commenting on the statement by Sen. Gloria. I take this opportunity to congratulate her. I think this is the first time in parliamentary history that a pregnancy announcement has been woven into a parliamentary question. She did well to disclose because the question was on Linda Mama. If she had not told us that, we would have accused her of conflict of interest because she is soon going to be a beneficiary of Linda Mama programme. I would like that when the committee takes charge of this matter, they also appraise us on whether there are any pending bills or amounts that are owed under this programme to any of our county hospitals. I remember the last time the Cabinet Secretary for Health was here, she assured us that all those pending bills would be cleared soon. So, the committee should take charge of that. Number two, it is quite disturbing; you can see the Senator for Kisumu County has brought two Questions on the state of education in the country. Specifically, even regarding the safety of pupils and students across the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we continue to condole with our brothers and sisters who lost their young children at the Hillside Endarasha School in Nyeri. All of us, whether you are a parent or not, or a parent-to-be like Sen. Gloria, we are concerned about the safety of the students and we would want that matter to be resolved. You will also be aware that just this afternoon, the students in the universities have issued a two-week strike notice again over the university funding model. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
