I requested for this time because the Statement I want to request is related to what my good Senator has been raising about the effects of COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the disbursement of Government capitation funds to schools and the measures put in place to cushion teachers employed by schools’ boards of management and non-teaching staff during the COVID- 19 pandemic in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a detailed report of the total amount of Government capitation monies disbursed to schools since March 2020 by the National Treasury in line with the Ministry of Education guidelines for the implementation of free education. (2) State the balance of Government capitation monies yet to be released, if any, and the specific timelines it shall be released to schools. (3) Lastly, the Committee should explain the specific measures, if any, put in place by the Government of Kenya to economically cushion teachers employed by the schools’ Boards of Management and non-teaching staff during the COVID-19 pandemic."
