"content": "Hon. Speaker, your guidance is the true position. I assure my colleagues, and the nation at large, that we will do our best to conclude the consideration of the regulations. We are aware of the attention that this matter has received across the country. There are many stakeholders we will be having a session with. I assure my colleagues that we are all affected. I have a constituency like him. We have schools in those constituencies. We are not going to delay on this one. We will move with speed and report back to the House. What the hon. Member said is true. Any attempt by the Cabinet Secretary, or any other person, to give directives based on the regulations will be null and void. The Cabinet Secretary should listen to what we are saying. We will not allow an abuse of the law. We are a country that believes in the rule of law. Matters of education are very sensitive. I call upon anybody who is aware of any action taken on the basis of the regulations to inform us. This is a House of elected leaders. We have the right to intervene. Hon. Speaker, I know that, with your leadership, we can intervene in situations where things are done illegally. Thank you."
