    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution of Kenya says, in Article 53(2): “53(2) A child’s best interests are of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child.” The Assistant Minister is responsible for our children in school. As the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology also stated, participating in these activities is not actually an extra-curricular, but it is the core activity that children engage in. Therefore, we want the Assistant Minister to ensure that children in each school get the opportunity to participate. He must allocate sufficient funds, so that this matter is not just left to those who can afford or those who are willing to participate. It should be part of the education policy. So, we want him to be very categorical on what he is going to do. Finally, we have holidays in the school calendar. You have one week at the county level. In order for children to move from Turkana County to Narok, they need three days of travel. I am sure that they stay there for another four days or a whole week, and another three days to travel back. So, we are talking of about two weeks of school time being used on such activities. We know that these activities are important but why can they not come at a time when schools are not in session?"
