    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to seek clarification because the response given by the Chairman was not adequate. This is so, because it does not reflect the position on the ground. Last year, the leadership of Isiolo went to carry out a fundraising for this particular school because its situation is pathetic. Up to now, the situation has not yet improved. The Chairman says the school was closed because of insecurity. That is not the true position. Garbatulla was the only school that was closed. The other schools were going on with studies. Why was Garbatulla the only school closed? Secondly, the community has raised an issue about the Board of Governors (BOG). It is important to listen and involve communities when it comes to management of schools and even the alumni who have offered to support the school. The alumni are holding Kshs8 million that they want to pump into the school. In the current situation, they cannot pump that money. The Ministry has failed to indicate why experienced and qualified local teachers were not posted there. The leadership of that county sat with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology officials and decided to remove the headmaster whom the Chairman claims was improving the situation of the school. If you look at the response, you will see that there has been a drop from 3.26 points to 2.8 points. Will that situation improve with the current principal? That is not the position. He also said that the current principal was a headmaster. I was informed by the Chairperson that the current Director of Education was sent to go and give a report. This is one of the managers who are running down the school. I request the Government to send independent auditors and investigators so that they come up with a proper report which should be tabled in this House. Secondly--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
