    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the lack of a dedicated prayer facility for Muslim students at Moi Girls High School, Kibra Constituency in Nairobi City County despite Christian students having a designated space for fellowship. This issue raises concerns about religious inclusivity and equity in public institutions in the country. It is important to ensure that all students, regardless of their faith, have equal access to facilities that support their religious practices as guaranteed by the Constitution. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Report on the steps the Ministry of Education is taking to provide Muslim students at Moi Girls High School in Kibra Constituency with a dedicated prayer room, similar to the facility available for Christian students; (2) Clarify the Ministry's policy on ensuring religious inclusivity and equal access to facilities for students of all faiths in public schools across the country; and, (3) Provide a timeframe within which the Ministry will address this issue and ensure that the Muslim students have a proper space for prayer and religious activities at the school. I thank you, Mr. Speaker."
