    "content": " Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think commenting on the issue of education and agreeing with Hon. Wangwe, it is an area that continuously brings many questions. Moreover, I happen to be a member of the Committee on Education. Therefore, I think the advice that has already been given by Hon. Wangwe - and which I think we shall adapt - is to actually call the CS because the capitation is given as follows: 50% in the first term, 30% in the second term and 20% in the third term. However, within that bracket, there are allocations. So, currently, you know schools are not on. But there are minimum labour requirements in schools and other things that need to be done. Therefore, you will find the Hon. Member under task to explain why those things are not working. In addition, that is why there is the question on how much can be released to schools even in the absence of schools being on. That is because there is a minimum cost of maintaining the schools during the COVID-19 time so that we can give them life when they open. Therefore, it is an issue that I think as a Committee, we need to bring the CS to book. It should happen with all the other Committees and Ministries. However, because education is very touchy to everybody and every Member here, it will keep on cropping up any time and many times. Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker."
