    "content": " Okay, let me try. This is a response to Hon. Wangwe, the Member for Navakholo. His statement request was to the CS for Education. The question reads: Could the CS provide details on how much funds meant for capitation was released in the FY 2019/2020 and how much is pending to be released to schools? The response reads. In the FY 2019/2020, the Ministry of Education had a budget of Kshs59 billion to cater for Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE). Those funds were utilized as shown in the detailed table. In Term II 2019, the Ministry released Kshs12 billion, which was a deficit of 2018/2019 FY. In Term III 2019, the Ministry released Kshs20 billion, which was 20 per cent disbursement. In Term I 2020, the Ministry released Kshs31 billion, Kshs368 million and Kshs304 million. CBC training was given Kshs300 million. Co-curricular activities were given Kshs767 million. The total money spent was Kshs58 billion. The approved budget was Kshs59 billion. So, there is a total amount of Kshs983 million which is yet to be released. This amount was meant to cater for co-curricular activities that were suspended in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The second question was: Could the CS provide details on the amount of monies and the capitation that was allocated for the purchase of textbooks, sports and games in both primary and secondary schools in the FY 2019/2020? In this connection, the Ministry of Education utilized a total of Kshs606 million to procure 2,808,098 textbooks for secondary schools. The Ministry has already remitted Ksh368 million to the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) to start the process of procuring the required textbooks. The remainder of Kshs238 million will be released once the textbooks have been delivered to the targeted schools. On co-curricular activities, the Government centrally provides for funding to undertake sports and games. The Ministry intended to utilize Kshs1.7 billion to undertake co-curricular activities in the last financial year. The Ministry has so far remitted Kshs767 million to field officers to undertake those co-curricular activities and the remainder of Kshs983 million, as indicated, was not utilized because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
