    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members. Umoja One Primary School has only one income generating activity, which is their swimming pool. The studio is not operational because the school is yet to recruit a competent operator to operate it. The hall has never, at any given time, been hired and so, it has never been able to generate any income ever since it was built. The swimming pool generates income because learners from neighbouring schools use it after paying a fee. Members of the public also use the swimming pool at a fee, particularly during weekends and public holidays. So far, the swimming pool has generated a total of Ksh8,459,168 from January 2020 to April 2023. The breakdown is given on a monthly basis. I do not have to go to the details of every month. The income is banked in a designated swimming pool account held at the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, Umoja Branch. The account statement for the said account is as provided in my answer and marked as Annex I. The balance in the account as at 6th June 2023 was Ksh37,046.72. A monthly average of Ksh192,000 is used to pay the salaries of employees supporting the swimming pool operations, and the amount normally varies depending on the season. Between Ksh150,000 and Ksh200,000 per month is also used for pool maintenance and chemicals, depending on seasonal demand. A part of the revenue is used to improve the school’s infrastructure and resources. For example, in the past one year, a sum of Ksh250,000 has been spent in the installation of water tanks, Ksh400,000 on connection of water to the school, Ksh150,000 on tiling of the classrooms, and Ksh200,000 for plastering the classrooms. The accounts of the school are audited annually. For this past year, the audit was concluded in April, and we are yet to get the report. I undertake to provide the report to the Member of Parliament once it is availed to me."
