    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement on the rise in cases of sexual molestation in schools. Pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b), I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education regarding the rampant cases of child abuse and molestation by teachers in Kenyan schools. In the Statement, the Chairperson should address the following issues:- (1) Is the Chairperson aware of the ever increasing incidences of sexual abuse and molestation by teachers in Kenyan schools? If so, what are the reasons for such escalation? (2) Could the Chairperson provide the details of such cases which have been reported to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or other agencies in the last five years and indicate the action taken in each of the cases? (3) Could the Chairperson confirm that some of the cases have been settled out of court? If so, what has the Government done in such instances to ensure that the culprits are apprehended and disciplined appropriately? (4) What other measures has the TSC taken to ensure that the menace of sexual offenses against students in schools is completely eradicated and ensure that disciplinary measures are taken against the teachers involved? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
