"content": "Secondly, is the issue of NEMIS. A school in my constituency has 1,000 students but the Ministry sends money for only 500 students. When you ask why capitation has not been provided for the other students, the Ministry says that the students do not have birth certificates. I previously raised the same matter in the Chamber and the then Cabinet Secretary said that birth certificates would not be required for registration. Students who do not have birth certificates by virtue of the fact that they were not provided are denied an opportunity to access education and are sent home. They are asked to bring money just because they do not have birth certificates."

"content": "Thirdly, if you ask the Ministry of Education whether they have sent money for examinations, they will say that they sent money for each student for exams. People in the education sector will then go and get a person who provides exams at an exorbitant price, inform headteachers to instruct their students to give money, and students are then sent home to collect money for exams. Unless this Parliament takes a decisive step and requests a special forensic audit into schools and the education offices in the counties, we will never get answers and our students will suffer. What the Cabinet Secretary says in Nairobi is different from what is on the ground. Parliament must investigate schools. Why does the Ministry of Education run some special accounts? They demand that each student gives Ksh10 which is sent to an account run by the Kenya Primary Schools Head Teachers Association (KEPSHA). They then sit down and share that money amongst KEPSHA officials and officials of the Ministry of Education at the county levels. That is what happens and that is why our kids keep being sent home to collect monies to boost certain kitties in schools. We need to bring this to an end by investigating each county and constituency so that the truth comes out. Otherwise, our children will continue to be sent home for money for exams, sports, Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) programmes and other mundane things that are not important to their education. I feel very pained by this because I see it happening to schools all the time. We must bring a stop to it. Money sent by the Government to schools must be used for what it was sent for, not to enrich education officers in the counties, headteachers and other officials."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, the Committee agreed with the Cabinet Secretary that it was time for the Ministry to review the amount of money that they send to schools. Giving out Ksh10 to students at the lower level is not ideal, especially when more funds have been left at the Ministry. That amount is very little. Fewer students move upwards compared to the number of students at the start of their academic journey. I still 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."
