Before I refer this petition to the relevant Standing Committee, I note that the subject matter to which the Petition relates falls under the mandate of more than one committee, that is, the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare which has the mandate to consider matters relating to culture and heritage and the Standing Committee on Education, in so far as the current Petition was triggered by the decision of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) to have the Dholuo language taught in Suba primary schools. That being the case, I direct that pursuant to Standing Order No.226 (1), the Petition stands committed to the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, jointly with the Standing Committee on Education. In terms of Standing Order No.226 (2), the Committees are required in not more than 60 days from the time of reading the prayer, to respond to the petitioners by way of a report to the petitioners and laid on the Table of the Senate. Thank you. Next Order!"}
