With the increasing demand for Sharia-compliant products and services in the region, Kenya has an opportunity to become a hub for capacity development in Islamic studies and Sharia. However, policy gaps hinder expansion in the education sector, limiting Kenya's ability to train professionals for this growing market. It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. Plans by the Ministry of Education to develop and implement a framework for integrating the Madrasa System into the KNQF and university admission criteria as part of the ongoing implementation of the Presidential Working Party for Education Reforms recommendations. 2. Progress made in ensuring the comprehensive integration of the madrasa education system into Kenya's formal education system. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to respond to the question by the said Hon. Member regarding insecurity in Kirinyaga County. This is a report on the status of the investigation into the killing of a minor, Ms Stacy Nyakio Kinyua, and Mr Peter Karima, as well as the robbery with violence attack on Mbogo’s family. On 4th January 2025, at around 2.30 p.m., the area Assistant Chief, Mr Gerald Nyaga, reported that he had received information from Ms Eva Wangechi, who is the victim, regarding Stacy's disappearance. She was a Grade Seven pupil at Kaitheri Primary School. She went missing at approximately 11 a.m. on the same day. During the search, the victim's body was discovered lifeless in a shallow hole within a coffee plantation located about four kilometres from their home. Upon visiting the scene, the officers from Kirinyaga Police Station established that the deceased was half naked with trousers and underpants found beside her body, indicating that she had been defiled and killed. The murder report was booked under Occurrence Book (OB) No. 29 of April 0125 at Kerugoya Police Station. The body was transported to Kerugoya Hospital Morgue, where a post-mortem examination confirmed that the cause of death was hypoxia due to secondary suffocation and strangulation following an assault. A file No. 22105 of 2025 was opened with respect to the incident. The forensic evidence, including swabs and fingernail samples, was collected and forwarded to the government chemist for further analysis. To this date, by the time of writing of this report, the case was still under active investigation. There is also the issue of robbery with violence of Mr William Mbogo and Ms Joyce Wangu. On 3rd January 2025, at around noon, Mr William Mbogo Nyaga and his wife, Ms Joyce Wangu, who operate an M-Pesa shop at Block Area shopping centre in Kirinyaga Centre, closed their business for the day. While walking home on foot, they were ambushed by three unidentified gunmen armed with firearms and crude weapons. Although nothing was stolen from them, Mr Mbogo sustained serious gunshot wounds on the right hand near the elbow, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "while the wife suffered severe head injuries. The victims were rushed to ACK Mount Kenya Hospital, where they were admitted and are in fair condition. Upon visiting the crime scene, the officers from the said police station recovered one spent cartridge and two live rounds of ammunition. The incident was also booked in Karaini Police Station via OB No. 100301 of 2025, and the investigation commenced immediately under Case File No. 2213025. The spent cartridge recovered from the scene was taken to the ballistic examiner at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters for analysis. The findings confirmed that the firearm used in this incident was also linked to a previous shooting in Ruiru Sub-County, which also had a reported case No. 311002 of 24 at Gatonga Police Station. The case, by the time of writing the report, was under active investigation. Unfortunately, no arrest has been made so far. On the last one, Ms Gladys Nyambura closed her M-Pesa shop on 24th at approximately 9.30 p.m. She operates it in Kirinyaga Town. She boarded a bodaboda ridden by Mr Eric Maina to take her home. Before reaching her destination, they were intercepted by assailants using two numberless motorbikes, each carrying a pillion passenger armed with a pistol. The criminals immediately confronted the complainant, brandishing the pistols and forcibly snatching her handbag while demanding money. Upon hearing the distress call, a local resident, Mr Kamau, aged 44 years, responded in an attempt to assist. Unfortunately, one of the robbers shot him. They also fired two shots into the air to disperse the bystanders before fleeing the scene on their motorcycles. The police officers arrived promptly, but the criminals had already escaped. On the scene, the police recovered two spent cartridges and five rounds of ammunition. The injured victim was rushed to Kirinyaga County Referral Hospital for treatment. However, he tragically succumbed to his injuries the following day. The post-mortem examination confirmed that he had suffered a vital gunshot wound on the abdomen. Investigations commenced under the offence of robbery with violence contrary to Section 296(2) of the Penal Code, referred under Case File No. CR22118 of 2025. The forensic analysis done at the DCI headquarters by the ballistic examinations on the two spent cartridges recovered at the scene established that the firearm used in this incident had also been linked to a separate robbery with violence case No. DCI in Ruiru again, under OB No. 31100224. This means these are notorious criminals. The suspects remain at large now, and the case is still under active investigation to apprehend those responsible. I confirm to this House that when Governor Sakaja dumped garbage at Kenya Power headquarters, we invited him and the Inspector-General of Police. We listed this agenda as Any other Business (AoB) to the Inspector-General of Police. The Member of Parliament had ample time to question him. Some of the interventions were to transfer some of the rogue officers. It was confirmed that they were transferred. However, we are a little bit concerned because no suspect has been apprehended."

"content": " Not really, Hon. Speaker. The issue was that they had stayed there for too long until they got a lot of familiarity. That was the request put across by then, but I agree with you. They had overstayed. That is why the policy is about three years now. At times, these police officers stay in a particular area, get so familiarised, and even start doing business there. When they are transferred to unknown territories, they improve a little bit. This is the response to the three unfortunate cases. I pass my condolences to the families of the people who lost their lives. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
