"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that Hon. Mbui attended the Committee meeting where the Cabinet Secretary was present. We all agree that it is this House that appropriates money for schools and we all agree that the Cabinet Secretary has no solution to this problem. The House has a solution by allocating funds to the Ministry to disburse to schools. I am on record asking the Cabinet Secretary how free education is in Kenya. Every time parents are asked to pay money, it is because the Cabinet Secretary has no money by himself. Parents and principals need schools to run. Looking at the questions, it is true that they were partly answered. If we could allocate more money for the Ministry to be able to disburse the intended amounts, then we would be in a better position."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the same issue, one of the concerns that we have is that money is disbursed based on the number of students registered on the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). There has been an intentional deregistration of students on NEMIS so that the Ministry sends less money to schools. One of my schools, Umoja 1 Primary, for example, was sent Ksh59,000. This is a school that has 3,000 students. How do you send Ksh59,000 as capitation? The Ministry of Education should be clear. There is this notion that they send half the amount and retain the other half. Can they clarify that position so that school heads can know the amount to be disbursed? If the Ministry says Ksh15,000 to JSS students, they are only going to send Ksh7,500 per student and retain the rest, make it clear rather than having school heads expecting the full Ksh15,000 which will never come. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

In the second Supplementary Budget, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education was on record in this House that there was an allocation of Ksh100 million. He told us that the money was going towards upgrading NEMIS to make sure that all students in this country are captured properl, so that the Ministry can disburse capitation money from a point of information based on the numbers of students in every school. It is proper for the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education to tell us whether that money was utilised to upgrade NEMIS and whether the system is serving the Ministry well 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."

Wamboka, to investigate schools because I have a problem in my constituency. Immediately money is sent to schools, a letter comes from the Sub-County Education Officer asking the school to send a certain amount of money per student such as Ksh5 or Ksh10 for a specific purpose. After some time, another letter comes from the County Education Office asking for Ksh10 per student for games in every school. When the students want to go for games, parents are asked to give out money so that the students can be facilitated."

"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."
