Speaker, it is of great concern that the management of Kimilili High School has allegedly misappropriated funds disbursed to the institution by the Government of Kenya and other donors like M/s Jenkins Check from the United Kingdom meant for school infrastructural development. It is on this account that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (i) What measures has the Ministry of Education put in place to address embezzlement and misappropriation of funds in public schools? (ii) What is the status of the forensic audit for the Financial Year 2019/2020 requested by the Board of Management of Kimilili High School, and has the Ministry taken any action against the persons involved in the embezzlement of funds? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a list of the suppliers and contractors who have been contracted to supply goods and services, stating the names of the directors in the said companies and itemised goods and services supplied by each, and the criteria used in awarding contracts and tenders at Kimilili High School? (iv) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a financial statement of any funds received from M/s Jenkins Check from the United Kingdom to the said school and give an account of how the funds have been utilised since 2007?"
