"content": "Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the inordinate delay by Kenya in ratifying the agreement for the establishment of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC). AFC was established on 28th May 2007 as a multilateral development finance institution dedicated to promoting private sector-led infrastructural investment across the African continent. Its mission is to address Africa's infrastructure development needs and foster sustainable economic growth through equity project development, financial advisory, and treasury management services. The AFC operates under the agreement for its establishment dated 28th May 2007. Forty three Africa's sovereign States signed an instrument of accession and acceptance of membership to the AFC as a supranational body. The Republic of Kenya, through the National Treasury, signed the instrument of adherence to the terms of the AFC on 7th June 2017. Since then, the National Treasury has yet to submit the instruments for the treaty establishing the AFC to the National Assembly for ratification. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following: 1. What milestones have been made in effecting the ratification of the treaty for the establishment of the AFC in Kenya since the signing of the instrument of adherence on 7th June 2017? 2. What has caused the inordinate delay by the National Treasury in submitting the treaty to the National Assembly for ratification? 3. When does the Ministry intend to submit the treaty to the National Assembly? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."

"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection regarding the lack of full disbursement of the Presidential Secondary School Bursary. It was established in 2013 under the State Department for Social Protection to enhance secondary school enrolment, attendance, and completion of studies by orphans and vulnerable children. This initiative was a commendable commitment to actualising the provision of Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution, which enshrines the right of every child to free and compulsory basic education. The National Assembly plays a crucial role in approving the annual Budget, which includes an allocation of Ksh1.2 billion to the Presidential Secondary School Bursary, intended to be distributed across the 290 constituencies. However, it is deeply concerning that constituencies have only received a paltry sum of the total funds for the last two financial years. The consequences of this shortfall have been devastating. Numerous orphans and vulnerable children who rely heavily on this Fund for their education have been forced to disqualify their studies due to their inability to pay for it. This situation is particularly alarming given the rising number of targeted beneficiaries over the years, further compounding the need for adequate funding. It is against this background The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
