    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I wish to present to the House a petition by Highridge Girls Secondary School, Parklands Arya Girls and Aga Khan Primary School as follows:- “We, the undersigned citizens of Kenya and members of the aforementioned schools, draw the attention of the National Assembly to the following:- That, Highridge Girls Secondary School, Parklands Arya Girls and Aga Khan Primary Schools are located in Westlands Constituency and sponsored by the Asian Community. Those schools were established as public institutions to provide education to students from the locality but the above mentioned schools have been receiving funding from the Government through the Ministry of Education and have teachers that are employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). However, the teachers and students of the said schools have been at loggerheads with the Asian Community, who claim ownership of the schools. That has affected the smooth running of those schools. Through the head teachers, parents teachers association (PTAs) and board of governors (BoGs), we have sought the assistance from the Ministry of Education on the ownership of the schools, but the issue has never been resolved conclusively. The issues within this petition are not pending before any constitutional, legal or judicial body. Therefore, the humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly engages with the Ministry of Education to give the official position on the ownership of the schools and any other schools that are sponsored by the Asian Community within Westlands Constituency. Your petitioners will ever pray.”"
