    "content": "Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear that this House can deliberate and resolve any issue of concern to the people. I am humbly requesting that we set up a parliamentary ad hoc committee to inquire into this matter and come up with resolutions. We cannot debate in vain. I propose that Hon. Sossion be the chair of that Committee and 001 to be the vice chair so that we inquire into this matter. This is because parliamentary Standing Orders allow us to do this. We are not going to talk about this forever. We must come up with solutions because this is an indicator that bad things are happening. We have the department of public works. What has it been doing? We have those people who inspect schools. Where were they when this matter was happening? That means they were sleeping on the job. At the same time, we have those people in charge of quality assurance at the Ministry. They cannot sleep on the job. My humble request to Hon. Sossion is that he puts the list in place. We will incorporate the Chair of Departmental Committee on Education and Research so that we come up with resolutions that will provide solutions in future. Remember prevention is better than cure. We cannot continue losing our loved ones. Article 43 of the Constitution says that every Kenyan has a right to education. If that is the case, then how comes in this particular ward, we do not have any public school? It is an embarrassment to the Ministry and it must wake up. This is something that shows that things should not be the same. The ad hoc committee needs to be in place with immediate effect. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
