Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Members for supporting the appointments of the five nominees as commissioners to the TSC. Thank you so much for the support. Now that the TSC is fully constituted, I am sure they are going to give us the best service more than they are doing currently. I beg to reply.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There are a lot of issues in the education sector. I am happy that Members are bringing them out through the right channel. I actually thought that I would get a moment to talk about the Petition, but that has been overtaken by events. The issue that has been raised by Hon. Baya, about the internal fees, will have to be looked into because many people have been asking where the internal fees came from. I believe the Ministry has one approved fees structure for schools. We will look into that matter and ensure that we ...

Hon. Speaker, we have four other pending requests for statements from Members. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) is currently in London on issues of setting exams. Maybe, in two weeks time. Mheshimiwa Owen Baya can give us two weeks to bring an answer. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, it is important for the Member, as Hon. Wanga has said, to withdraw what he has said. This response is very key to the questions that he is asking and there is nothing that can be done without the approval of the CS. He has to be patient and wait for the CS to come back.

One thing that we need to do as a Committee - and I ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank Hon. Keter for that very key Statement. I have listened to and noted all the views by the Members. Currently, infrastructure is a big problem when it comes to the education sector, especially with the new 100 per cent transition which we appreciate very much because it has ensured that we do not leave any child behind. The new competency-based curriculum (CBC) ensures that we also need many new classrooms. We need a lot of infrastructure support from the Government. Let me take this opportunity to thank His Excellency ...

supposed to be completed in six months. We have no idea why the project was suddenly stopped. As Hon. Osotsi has said, he will bring a Question to the Floor for the CS to appear and tell us why it was stopped, so that we can unlock it. We are hoping that it will proceed. I can confirm that that project was to benefit 3,193 schools in 30 counties. I quickly want to read those counties. They were Bungoma, Murang'a, Busia, Kakamega, Homa Bay, Migori, Kisii, West Pokot, Turkana, Elgeyo Marakwet, Bomet, Nandi, Samburu, Baringo, Tharaka Nithi, Laikipia, Machakos, Kajiado, ...
