    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the submersion of learning institutions due to rising water levels in Lake Turkana. For generations, Lake Turkana has been a vital resource for economic and cultural well- being, with fishing being their primary source of livelihood. Regrettably, over the past four years, the rising water levels in Lake Turkana have led to the closure of a number of learning institutions as they have been submerged. This has greatly impacted not only the resident's way of life, but also the educational opportunities for their children. The rise in water levels has adversely disrupted students' learning. Further, this has led to a reduced attendance of learners in schools, thus negatively affecting the gains that have been made towards enhancing access to basic education. It is against this background that I seek to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
