“Honourable Members, conscious of the central role of the Commission in the education sector and noting the unprecedented nature of the early learning and basic education calendar for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, H.E The President has requested the National Assembly to consider the nominees on a priority basis,” wrote Speaker Justin Muturi in a message to the House.
