    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.33 of the Senate Standing Orders, today, Wednesday, 27th July, 2016, to seek the adjournment of the Senate in order to discuss the very important issue of what is happening to our schools at the moment. Today, there is great destruction of the infrastructure of our schools in this country. As of last night, there were close to 110 schools that have lost property as a result of fire. This has been caused either deliberately or unintentionally, some of which, of course, is accidental. This country spends up to a third of its budget on education. In fact, the most expensive investment in this country is in education and its subsequent infrastructure; which is the buildings hosting these schools. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya is very advanced in this region in providing education. This is exemplified by the fact that the leadership of the East African region has had some association with the education of this country. The destruction of schools in the last two months is probably equivalent to what terrorists are causing to this country. This is a very important item that this Senate must pronounce itself on as regards to the ongoing destruction of schools. The amount and the nature of destruction of schools is very frightening in that even the rate at which it is going, perhaps by the end of the year we will not have any schools in this country. There have been issues which we know. One of the issues which perhaps precipitated this is the leakage of examinations in this country which we experienced last The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
