"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The matter that the Hon. Member for Nakuru Town is raising is very weighty. It is a matter of national concern. The Ministry had to take that stern action because it is better to have a student alive than a dead one. We have seen some schools which are ramshackle or a disaster waiting to happen. It was better for the Ministry to take that action of closing those schools. However, there are instances where we urged the Ministry to appear before the Committee, so that they can tell us the various steps they are taking to safeguard the 10,000 or 20,000 students who are out there and are supposed to sit for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). What steps have they taken to ensure that the revision time for these students is not lost? They had agreed to appear before us. I know tomorrow is a gazetted national holiday. Therefore, we will reschedule the meeting. I will invite my friend and colleague, Hon. Gikaria, to listen to the Cabinet Secretary when the time comes."
