    "content": "Hon. Members, you know the criteria of giving textbooks to schools. This is another area where we said that we must register all our schools, be it primary or secondary. Once the NEMIS captures them, they qualify to get textbooks. The number of textbooks we have issued to our junior secondary schools in the 12 learning areas is 18,000,000, taking an amount of Ksh3.3 billion. That is money allocated by this House. I think His Excellency the President will issue a statement today in conformity with the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party. It is to reduce the number of learning areas from twelve to nine. Hon. Member, in case we have not issued them to your constituency or any particular school, please come to my office so that we specifically look at that issue. For secondary schools, the criterion is that we issue textbooks after four years. According to our estimation, a textbook is supposed to last for four years. It is only after the four years that there is another allocation of textbooks to a given school."
