    "content": "I, the undersigned, on behalf of the parents of the students of Bura Girls High School, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, on Sunday, 21st June 2015 an unfortunate incident happened to 36 students in Bura Girls High School in Mwatate Constituency. THAT, the Principal of the school contravened a critical provision of Article 32(1) of the Constitution, which provides for freedom of worship. THAT, 33 students, alongside three other non-catholic students, hid in a store within the school compound to avoid attending the Sunday Mass since they did not profess to the Catholic faith. THAT, the Principal summoned all students and suspended them for two weeks for failing to respect school authority. THAT, the Principal suspended the students at 5.00 p.m. and did not take into consideration the risk involved, noting that most of the students reside outside Taita Taveta County where the school is located. THAT, despite the fact that school rules and regulations state that all students have freedom of worship, the principal directed that all students should attend Sunday Mass regardless of whether they are Catholics or not."
