Speaker, while I sincerely sympathize with the plight of the student, I am struggling from where I sit if this matter could not have been handled better and faster at the local level. I do not seem to understand how it is a national issue and whether the hon. Member ought not to have liaised with the MCA of the area to handle it with the County Education office. This is because a matter like this, other than the fact that it is urgent, I would believe that if it was handled at the Nakuru County Education Office, it would be faster than bringing it here. Is it really not setting a bad precedent when we are bringing matters which are local to the National Assembly?"}
