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. He should be here any time next week to give us all the responses that all the other Members have been patiently waiting for. There are four of them. 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, ...

This is a very important Statement and I am hoping the answer we get from the CS will finally lay to rest the issue of infrastructure. Let the Ministry involve the MPs so that they feel part of the ownership of infrastructure put up in schools. The criteria should be very clear to the Members so that they can feel truly the Ministry has supported the schools. We will need two weeks to answer that Question once the CS is back as I said.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the sentiments by Hon. Abdullswamad. It would be proper for the Ministry - and I have informed the Cabinet Secretary – to send a proper circular to all schools in regard to what has been raised by the Hon. Member. It would be in order. When it comes to the issue of the CBA, I can confirm that the TSC did what was right at the right time. They wrote that letter in February. It is the Salaries and Remuneration Commission that has been sleeping on the job and responded to the queries that ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate what Hon. Member has talked about. The first question was about the TTCs which offer diploma courses in the country. According to the response from the Ministry, it seems that there are quite a number of consultations which are going on between the Ministry and TSC. Once these consultations and the right adverts are done and we have accurate information, we will advise the Member on the policy that the Ministry has come up with without pre-empting what the consultation meetings will come up with. From the response that I have, there are consultative ...
