"content": "the Cabinet Secretary, questions that relate to the management of individual schools? What is the monitoring mechanism and inspection system that would bring those issues to the Ministry’s attention so that they are solved at a lower level? The Cabinet Secretary cannot come here to address individual schools and policy issues. Regarding the certificates, he earlier said that there are processes and so on. I am lucky the Cabinet Secretary is here because I will be in Seme this Sunday, and I have already told some people that we are going to look into the issue of certificates. What should I tell the parents who will be there and whose children’s certificates have been held? Those are practical issues that can be done if you go to a particular person. I think that is what people are looking for. Thank you."

"content": " Hon. James Nyikal, I do not think Parliament sits in vain. The Cabinet Secretaries are given this platform so that most of those policy positions on critical things like certificates can be spoken about in Parliament as the nation watches. As Members of Parliament, we need to direct the people we represent, whose certificates are held, to approach the institutions that are holding them. If there is a problem, we need to also understand that the Ministry is devolved. We have sub-county and county education officers. That complaint should be referred there for action. However, I do not think it is our right place, as Members of Parliament, to be the ones raising doubts on whether the policy directives given would be enforced. Our responsibility is to ensure that they are enforced, and support the Ministry in pursuing the proffered sanctions. Is that the Member for Turkana Central? You will be the last one to joyride on this Question. Please ask your question."

There are schools in Turkana Central that were submerged by the rising waters of Lake Turkana. I have raised statements in this House and written letters to the Ministry regarding the situation. The students or pupils who were in those schools do not go to school. They are either fishing or getting into other livelihoods."

The three-kilometre rule recommended by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has never been achieved in Turkana Central. This means that when those schools were submerged, the nearest school was more than 10 or 15 kilometres away. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that those schools are re-constructed? I have constructed five classrooms in Ngimuriae Primary School using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF)."

The livelihoods of most of those families were affected. That is why I am raising this issue here today. I need an answer from the Cabinet Secretary. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
