The arithmetic should have been done earlier. Money is also not being released regularly. We understand that there was transition from one government to another. When there is a transition, the duty is on the incoming government to ensure smooth continuity. The country will not listen to you when you blame your predecessors because they are gone. If you find errors, your duty is to correct them. The transition should have been extremely meticulous. The plan was to take JSS students to secondary schools but, in one day, it was decided that they would remain in primary schools. Meticulous planning was needed at that point.

In my constituency, all the JSS students are in classrooms that we built in primary schools. They are being used in a good way to host JSS. Hon. Ruku’s idea on how we use NG-CDF is welcome. In Kenya’s CBC, there are two issues of infrastructure that I do not hear about. Are we going to have laboratories or are we going to have workshops? Are the chickens that the Hon. Member was talking about going to be slaughtered in workshops? The ones that will be eaten I know where they will be slaughtered. That is not a problem. Will the ones for teaching be slaughtered in a laboratory? Will they be dissected in a laboratory or in a workshop? If it is fish…"
