    "content": " Hon. Speaker, it is high time we called a spade a spade. The Butere girls or children who were participating in the drama festival are victims of politics. We all understand the structure of our education system. There must be a drama master. There is a drama club, a drama teacher at the school, and the standards officer at the sub-county. There must have been failure by all these persons. The first question that I want to ask is how the school allowed Mr Malala to participate as one of the characters in the promotion of talents of those innocent girls. Our politics have destroyed the socio-political fabrics of this country through petty partisan political shenanigans. Today we will be out and going back to schools. Individuals must take responsibility. I empathise with the innocent girls. How did this happen? How was this allowed? Deal with politicians if you want to fight President Ruto. Do not go to students. Do not use innocent children as characters. Politicians have the political arena. As a father and grandfather who still has school going children, that must not be allowed. I urge the investigative agencies to deal with the teachers who allowed this to happen, and deal with Hon. Cleophas Malala. I appeal to parents not to allow their children to be used by politicians. Hon. Speaker, I know you are a great man in such matters. I am told that the entire political class have gone to Nakuru today to empathise with Hon. Malala. He and his cohorts in the school should be arrested this evening. That is the only way we can say sorry to the parents and students. That is very important. I also appeal to the Departmental Committee on Education to conduct thorough investigation and bring a report on the entire ecosystem on how this was allowed. I support the Statement."
