    "content": "that tedious process and we have now made it much easier. I issued a circular to all county directors of education in the country that, once schools apply for registration, county directors of education should not send the same to the Ministry Headquarters for approval. They now have the power and authority to register schools at the county level. I have the figures because we had a serious problem in this area. We have made a lot of progress because we have been able to register a commendable number of schools in the last four months since we came up with that circular. I request Members that if there are any schools which have not been registered, kindly bring them to my attention and I will take the necessary action, so that they are registered. Some of these schools have been in existence for the last four or five years. Some even have students in Standard Eight sitting for KCPE exams. There are others in Form Four and they require to be registered, so that they can get Government capitation, as well as getting teachers from the TSC. If they are not registered, we do not capture them in the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). Therefore, they miss out on the capitation that we give our primary schools, as well as our junior secondary schools and senior secondary schools. They also miss out on getting teachers from the TSC. I assure Members that if there are any such cases, I undertake to take the necessary action, so that all of them are registered."
