    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My supplementary Question to the CS related to Question No.37 by Sen. Cherarkey, the Senator of Nandi County which was about capitation. There are areas in this country where public schools are not available. What I am driving at is the fact that some private schools that exist in some areas of this country came into existence because of the need that the investors identified. If you allow me, I can give you an example of Githurai, which is in Kiambu County side. We only have one public school called Mwiki Primary School, which has a population of about 4,000 or 5,000 pupils. In this area, there are very many private schools that have come up not to serve rich people because pupils in that area cannot all fit in Mwiki Primary School. I may not have the figures, but that side of Githurai could have as many as 20,000 school-going children. I am building that foundation because I would like the hon. CS, who is very hard- working and committed and who does not miss Committee summons, to tell us if the Ministry has any plans to profile pupils in private schools so that those who go to private schools because there are no available spaces in public schools benefit from capitation by the Government? We also have informal schools that serve some of the poorest of the poor but these pupils do not get capitation."
