    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to appreciate the Chair for the response that she has given to us. However, the Statement lacks mathematical realities. When you look at that Statement, which I did and I want to thank her for forwarding it to me on time, it says that in the FY 2019/2020, the Ministry disbursed Kshs31.831 billion towards the share of the 50 per cent. In this House, we all represent various constituencies and we are aware that so much has not been paid in terms of salaries for Board of Management (BOM) teachers, Kenya Power bills, administrative and security bills. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the question is – and I want to seek that the Chair convenes a meeting to audit this amount of Kshs31,831 billion: How was it disbursed from the Ministry? The Chair has also referred to the last bit of her Statement that the budget lapsed - which I appreciate - with a total figure of Kshs983 million which ended in June. I appreciate this as per the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. However, from June to date, we are aware that schools have not opened. In addition, in that Statement, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) says they will disburse money once the schools are opened and yet, the schools are going to open in January next year. We know that all the activities between June to January next year are not going to take effect. Therefore, my request to the Chair is this: In the newly convened meeting, let her explain to us how that money is going to be used. Moreover, if it is not going to be used, let that money be converted and sent to various constituencies to build classrooms for our children. This is so that when they resume learning in January next year, let them get classrooms in good place and condition."
