Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Citizens of the Republic of Kenya and the residents of Njiru Ward, Kasarani Sub-county want to draw the attention of the Senate to the following:- That there is no public secondary school in Njiru Ward, Kasarani Sub-County, making it difficult for students to access subsidised secondary education. That in the year 2014, as residents, we petitioned our then area Member of Parliament to assist in the construction of a public secondary school which was agreed and the school was built using public funds drawn from the Constituency Development Fund. That the school is built on ...

That none of these issues raised in this Petition is pending in any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. Therefore, our humble Petition prays that the Senate - (1) Investigates why Njiru Secondary School has not been opened considering that completion of the infrastructure dates back to 2016/2017 Financial Year. (2) The Senate should intervene to have the school opened to benefit the community as it is the only public school in the area. (3) To make any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to second the Motion on extension of time. The scope of work we have as a Committee vis-à-vis the timelines of 45 days we were given, we cannot be able to complete the work and do it thoroughly as it should be. We also need to see all the stakeholders involved in this MES saga. Some of these stakeholders are not in Kenya; some of them are giving flimsy excuses. As you know, we have to give a seven-day notice for any stakeholder to appear before the Committee. For

example, today we had some contractors who were to come and they were referring themselves as directors of companies while in the real sense, they are not. They have come before our Committee twice and we have been sending them away. This takes a lot the Committee’s time and that is why we cannot complete the work on time.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Chairman of the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC), I take this opportunity to welcome the Public Accounts and Investments Committee from Vihiga County. We took a deliberate move as a Committee to be inviting the Public Accounts and Investments Committee members when we call the executive, so that we have that peer benchmarking. This is because most of our county assemblies are not well equipped to do oversight. It was a deliberate move and I want to tell this House that it is actually working. The Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) ...
