Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the Primary and Secondary Schools’ Infrastructure Improvement Programmes pertaining to funds earmarked for purchase of desks, lockers and chairs. Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary for Education recently directed all County Directors of Education to facilitate availability of over 622,000 desks, lockers and chairs to different schools across the country by 19th October 2020. Further, the Government has set aside Ksh.1.9 billion under the Economic Stimulus Programme for the supply of locally assembled furniture to public primary and secondary schools as one of its mitigation measures in preparation for the reopening of schools. Hon. Speaker, despite the COVID-19 pandemic being an ongoing public health concern, the Government is nonetheless expected to adhere to laid out rules and regulations regarding utilization of public funds, and it is on account of this expectation that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary submit a distribution schedule of the beneficiary schools receiving this furniture per sub-county? (iii) How were these schools identified? and, (iv) Who are the local assemblers of these furniture per sub-county and how have they been identified?"
