    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to add my voice, fully aware that I am a Member of that Committee. In all honesty, we are talking about the lives of our children. A line Ministry that has a full mandate, with a budgetary allocation, personnel and all the organs and institutions, should give Kenyans the answer. Two weeks down the line, five lives have been lost. We are talking about a matter that infringes on Article 26 of the Constitution, under the Bill of Rights. Everybody has a right to life. It is a pity that we are now being told that an entire Ministry cannot give this House, on behalf of Kenyans, an answer as to what is happening to our own children. In all honesty, we cannot wait one day, two days or one week. The Cabinet Secretary in charge should be summoned to this House, to tell Kenyans what is happening to our children, in not any other lesser words. To be honest, I am lost for words to even sit here and listen that an entire Cabinet Secretary, his Principal Secretary (PS) and all the officers in that Ministry cannot tell us that they have even a preliminary report on what they have gathered from the ground about what is happening to these children. It is completely unacceptable."
