    "content": "It is very important to acknowledge that, as the Cabinet Secretary answers those questions, members of the public are also following closely with a lot of interest. That makes the work of this House transparent, and we do not have to belabour what has been said. A constituent has referred me to Question 18 of 2025 in respect of what is termed as Duksi and Madrassa. The response the Cabinet Secretary gave was that plans and programmes are at high gear to ensure that those programmes are introduced to all the schools in the country. His concern is that Duksi and Madrassas are basically on Islamic religion and faith. While we appreciate that in our country we have the Christian and Islamic Religious Education, which are approved curriculum programmes, we are wondering whether those qualify for the statement to be introduced in all schools. That is the clarification we are being asked to make. The Cabinet Secretary is a Senior Counsel just as Hon. George Gitonga Murugara."
