    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Statement that had been raised by our colleague, Sen. Khaniri. There is something that is very disturbing. There is something we used to call perpetual succession in Government. When we were in the Education, Information, Communication and Technology Committee and my Chairperson is here, the CS then, Madam Amina assured that the Government required at least two years before the new curriculum could be rolled out. This man called Prof. Magoha, came in and rubbished what she had promised us and took like 15 days to roll it. Madam Temporary Speaker, I think this is something we should not allow. As legislators, we should re-think about this idea of picking people out there, giving them positions of CS and yet they do not care about the views of the people’s representatives. They come here, promise us things and then go back to their offices to implement it without consultations. They lack any form of accountability when they come to inform the Senate on very serious policy issues. We, as the Committee, will take this issue seriously. We do not want to take the lives of the children of this country for granted the way the CS wants it to look like. We cannot have a Government which is at war with itself. This should be brought to an end. We want to promise the House that we are up to the task. We will have Prof. Magoha appear here and report to the House"
