    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I first want to thank the Chair for providing this very detailed Statement. Going through this Statement, it is very clear that we have money that is lost. The report is very clear on the specifics where improprieties were recorded. I just want to ask the Cabinet Secretary to give an undertaking on how much time he requires to provide the full report, specifically on the amount of money that this school received from M/s Jenkins Check of the UK and how that money was spent. Also, the Cabinet Secretary has not provided an answer to one of the questions I asked: What action has the Cabinet Secretary taken or is going to take against the people who were involved in embezzlement of these funds? From the response, it is very clear that these are people who are supposed to be in prison. We have a number of students who have dropped out of this school during that time because of the construction. A sum of Kshs56 million was used to construct a multipurpose hall, which is still incomplete. That is money parents were asked to pay on top of what the Government had approved. So, we need to know from the Cabinet Secretary what action he has taken or the action he is going to take. Is he going to dissolve the BoM? Is he going to forward this report to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for prosecution so that this can act as a deterrent to other school principals who always engage in this kind of financial impropriety? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
