    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Special Motion:- THAT, aware of the fact that Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, has been holding his office since 2013; further aware that he appears to have committed gross violation of the Public Officer Ethics Act 2003 under Section 8, in performance of his duties; deeply concerned that he has allowed many education institutions to operate without boards of management contrary to Section 6 of the Education Act 2007, has discriminated against children with special needs by failing to disburse requisite funding to registered institutions on time contrary to Section 12 of the Children Act 2012 and Article 54(b) of the Constitution, has treated the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology with contempt by failing to honour meetings and summonses, failing to send apologies in time and failing to implement resolutions agreed upon in defiance of Article 125(1) of the Constitution and Section 23(a) of the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act, has refused to guarantee due diligence in the laptops programme for Class One pupils and failed to adhere to procurement regulations contrary to Section 27 of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2013; cognisant of the fact that the Cabinet Secretary has failed to promote education contrary to Section 3 of the Education Act 2007 as shown by among other shortcomings his failure to spearhead implementation of Hon. Kilemi Mwiria-led Task Force on Secondary School fees, coupled with blatant high-handedness and arrogance shown by his refusal to consult stakeholders on key issues, including examination ranking and other matters, and has failed to sufficiently promote education contrary to Articles 43(f), 53(b), 54(b), 55(a) and 55(b) of the Constitution, which is the core mandate of his Ministry, this House resolves that pursuant to Article 152 (6) of the Constitution, the President dismisses Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi from the position of the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology for gross misconduct and gross violation of the Constitution and other laws of the land."
