Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Statement. I would like to inform this House that the Committee on Education had a session with the Chief Executive Officer of the TSC, Ms. Nancy Macharia. What has been reported here is not what is on the ground. What Ms. Macharia reported to the Committee is also not what is on the ground. We have been discussing the issue of interdicted teachers in Mashuru for the last two weeks and we do not seem to be getting headway. The CEO of TSC informed the Committee on Education, Information and Communication Technology, ...

have gone back to teaching pursuant to directions by their bosses that they go back to their stations. They are physically evicting the teachers out of the schools. Madam Temporary Speaker, the drama that our children are facing in schools is one that they do not deserve. I am happy to hear that Prof. Magoha himself will appear before the relevant Committee to ensure that these issues are answered. I feel that this new curriculum has problems. We need to understand it for us to move forward as a country. I thank you.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. After the meeting we had with the CEO of TSC, she informed the Committee that 52 teachers had been sent to Mashuru Sub-County to replace those that had been interdicted. I made phone calls to the head teachers affected. For example, I called the headteacher of Oserip Primary School and I was told that they have not seen those teachers. If there is anything happening, it is the County Directors of Education who have been chasing away the interdicted teachers who reported back to the schools. That is the position which l got from the ...

Pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization on the human-wildlife conflict affecting communities living in counties bordering Game Parks and Game Reserves, particularly communities around Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Tsavo and Chyulu Game Reserves. In the Statement the Committee should - (1) Explain why the Government has taken too long to resolve the human-wildlife conflict, specifically the deaths and destruction of property caused by elephants and lions in Kajiado, Narok, Taita-Taveta and Makueni counties. (2) State whether there is any form of ...

Nkoondo Kilukei and Lentura Siaka were injured by elephants, whereas Nenkalash Sopoon Olootu, Lemako Mayon, Salaito Markau, Loshe Tirike, Amos Ntika, Murkuku Lemu and Keenka Sopon were all injured by lions, and have never been compensated. Madam Temporary Speaker, lastly, there is a death that occured this week of one Peloo Muteryan, who was killed by elephants and only his head was recovered at the border of Makueni and Kajiado. The lions had already eaten the other parts of his body, and he is yet to be buried. Just a comment before this Committee goes to look at this issue ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. In as much as we would really have contributed to the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, you have already made a ruling on it. I think it is not in order for Sen. Shiyonga to now seek to comment on it when you have already ruled and dealt with it.

On a Point of Order, Madam Temporary Speaker. In view of the urgency of the matter - we have elephants roaming around every other home, killing people and destroying property - I ask that you give this Committee a timeframe. Otherwise, we will continue having more deaths and it will cause human-wildlife conflict. At the moment, I can clearly report that I have seen some communication in a
