    "content": "Lastly, we have a category of schools that are not contemplated under the Basic Education Act. The Basic Education Act contemplates schools to mean either public or private. About 1.8 million children in Kenya today go to schools that are neither public nor private, schools that are known as Alternative Provision for Basic Education (APBET). In Mathare alone, I have 80,000 students, 56,000 of whom are in alternative schools. They are not recognised, there is no mapping, there is no recognition and, therefore, they are not even capitated. I suggest that the allocation to basic education is seriously under-funded and that we should consider the budgets that we have allocated. I know we need roads, and I need roads in Mathare. But where are our priorities when we have close to Khs250 billion for roads as opposed to basic education? So, Hon. Deputy Chairlady, I want us to do a serious reconsideration of priorities."
