    "content": "On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to seek leave of the House to request for adjournment on a definite matter of urgent national importance to discuss the increased cases of school burning in the country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 33(1) I seek leave for the purpose of discussing the increased cases of school burning in this country. While the education system is meant to create national development and advancement, the cases of torching of schools in the country have been counteractive towards this goal. Within the last six months, more than 100 schools have been burnt by students and this has been reported in many counties like Kisii, Trans Nzoia, Nakuru, Vihiga, Meru and Embu among other regions. These cases have caused great losses to the schools as property worth millions have been destroyed. Further, parents and indeed the Government have incurred increased extra expenses in the restoration of these institutions. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is seemingly unable to deal with this matter which is of great importance. I therefore, seek for the adjournment of the House in order to discuss this matter so that we chart the way forward on possible lasting solutions to this recurring problem. Thank you."
