    "content": "We send our children to school because we want them to learn the curriculum as approved by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, through the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE). I am sure this is a small matter, but it shows religious intolerance by a few individuals. Kenya has come of age. We are one of the few countries in the world where the principle of freedom of worship is enshrined in the Constitution. As we ventilate on the issues raised in this petition, I would like the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology to speak on this matter, if they are here, and write to the Ministry. This matter should not be a national crisis. We are in the holy month of Ramadhan. Kenya has better things to do than tell 37 young Muslim girls not to practise their faith but instead go to church. Some of us have a lot of respect for the Christian community. What we are saying is that the Committee on Education, Research and Technology should handle this matter. I am sure that the particular school principal will look at the Constitution and come to her senses. We want to build a country where people of all faiths co-exist and ensure that there is religious tolerance."
