    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research regarding distribution of funds under the infrastructure funds programme in secondary schools. Hon. Speaker, the Ministry of Education launched infrastructure programme with the objective of supporting development of physical and instrumental facilities in secondary schools in the country. Regrettably, the allocation and distribution of these funds from the programme to schools has not been undertaken in a predictable, fair and equitable manner. This inequality has resulted in poor quality education since most of the schools particularly those in marginalised and semi-arid areas, the urban poor and the rural areas are not able to access basic facilities that ought to enable them to support the critical Government target of achieving 100 per cent transition of learners from primary to secondary schools. It is on the account of these concerns that I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (i) What is the status of reimbursement of infrastructure funds to secondary schools across the constituencies including the beneficiaries since 2015 to date? 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."
