    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not hear clearly the Statement of the Chairman of the Committee on Education, Information and Technology. Really, has the plight of the child been considered or not? What we have been hearing in the media, especially in television and radios, are two giants fighting – the Government on one side and the teachers on the other side, for close to two weeks now. The Kenyan child has become a casualty and he has suffered. Nobody seems to be talking about these children. What becomes of them? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a result of the strike that took place last year, examinations were done beyond the prescribed usual times. It affected the whole school routine. Where I come from, there is only one academy. Now, it looks like everybody is comfortable because some counties could be having a lot of academies, which are private schools. I am asking this because I come from a pastoralist region. If the child’s routine is interrupted, a new “pastoralist” is being born for those two weeks. The rhythm changes now from following school programmes to laughing and looking after the cows. That is an avenue of creating new cattle rustlers in some regions if we are not keen. So, I want Sen. Kagwe to tell us clearly when these children are going back to school. It is as simple as that."
