    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry has not received registration documents from the school, and as a result the school is not recorded as one of the operational schools in Loima District. Once the Ministry receives the registration documents, teachers will be posted to it immediately. (b) As I have indicated in part “a” Kerio, Loima and Lomil secondary schools’ documents have also not been received in the Ministry for registration. Immediately we receive the documents the schools will be registered and teachers will be posted to them immediately. (c) The Ministry has developed a policy framework for nomadic education in Kenya. The Nomadic Education Commission will be formed to implement the policy. The policy will address the challenges of education, quality, access and equity in ASAL areas, including Turkana. I launched the policy on 15th July, 2010 jointly with the United Nations Children Education Fund and the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands at Garrissa Town. A stakeholders’ meeting will be held to develop a cabinet memorandum and a sessional paper to the Cabinet and Parliament for approval. My tour of North Eastern Province and the launch of the policy were informed by a response to Parliamentary Question No.116 by Mr. Adan Keynan, MP for Wajir West, and a request for a Ministerial Statement by Mr. Farah Maalim, the MP for Lagdera on the state of education in North Eastern Province. It should also be noted that the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands is also implementing affirmative action programmes cum projects to address marginalization in ASAL areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you will allow, I have a few copies here of the policy framework for nomadic education in Kenya, which I will hand over to the hon. Member through the Chair for his benefit, that of his colleagues and other people who do not have this policy document. Thank you."
