"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that I will take corrective measures after proper consultations are carried out. I will not go the pathway of haphazard choices. Hon. Langat asked whether the people around Kipsigis Girls Secondary School were consulted. Indeed, yes. The schools Boards of Governors (BoGs), the Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs) and other stakeholders came to Nairobi on that matter. What we must now separate is what we call âa short in the armâ or a stop gap measure we are taking in order to increase the number of places for Form I intake. The position we have is that there is a task force, headed by a very competent Kenyan, namely Prof. Odhiambo, who was able, during the time of the Mackay Commission and the other group, to come up with reforms in the education sector. This task force is going to every county to gather information. My expectation was that the technical team that put together this stop gap measure approach would link it to the task force, which is preparing the main report, which will form the basis for far reaching reforms â both legal and technical â involving a wide range of areas, including The Education Act, the system of education, curriculum development, et cetera . All these factors are now being dealt with by the wider task force, whose interim report I expect to be handed to me in the next two weeks, and the final report in the months of August/September."
