    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed I had a request for a Ministerial Statement. While I appreciate the Statement that the Minister has given, it was provided by his own officers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you notice that he has left out the role that the Ministry of Education may have played in causing these strikes, including the complete failure of the inspectorate system, and the alleged sale of secret mock exam papers by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). When this was discovered they were withdrawn, and it may have led to the students 1966 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 22, 2008 going on strike. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thirdly is the role of the Provincial Administration, where these schools are situated, where the chiefs and other Provincial Adminstration officers are busy selling illegal brews and protecting illicit brewers near schools. Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that the Minister has attributed blame only to students, would I be in order to request that this issue be referred to the relevant Departmental Committee to conduct a further investigation and report to this House when we resume from our recess? He has left out very many issues that could be attributed to the Ministry of Education. These include a possible reshuffle of Permanent Secretaries so that we can have younger persons rather than having old people sitting at the Ministry's headquarters without knowing how to run schools, and whose directives are affecting the running of our schools."
