Therefore, the amendment is specific that one person should represent the Kenya Private Schools Association.

The justification is as simple. When we met as a Committee, we invited stakeholders including the Ministry of Education which is in charge. The Ministry requested withdrawal of all the amendments to the Science, Technology and Innovations Act of 2013 proposed in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous amendments) Bill to allow the sector to have wider consultations. That is why the Committee proposed we delete all of them. As you will notice, they provide a wide range of amendments that have a wide spectrum of effect within the sector. It is the Ministry that requested that the amendments be withdrawn as ...
