    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Constitution of the country is very clear. While we encourage it very strongly because it is very evident that many institutions--- Now you see children, students and young people have a lot of trust in the National Assembly to resolve matters in a judicious manner. Because the Constitution is very clear about the right of choice, association, speech and so on, perhaps as the two Committees, as directed by you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, deal with this matter it may also be important to consider the role of the Executive, particularly the parent Ministry in ensuring that the right directives and communication are sent to all the institutions. This is because the other side of this matter is a problem that affects public institutions and not private institutions. If you go to private academies, colleges, high schools and primary schools, you will find that these matters are being handled in a very judicious manner because the administrators and proprietors are very sensitive to retain every population within the institutions. The issue of uniforms was captured in Prof. Kilemi Mwiria’s Report on school fees. According to the Report, this is a matter that needs review. Since that Report has been taken to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology and presented to the President of the country, I think that some of the documentation can assist to reach firm decisions so that matters of administrative justice are also executed at the lowest level. This is so as to minimize wastage of resources and enable focus on compliance of the Constitution. We cannot talk about the most progressive Constitution in the world, yet we are talking about retrogression in terms of basic administrative justice for those who deserve. Thank you for the permission."
