    "content": " All that I am trying to ask is how to take care of schools that are not well equipped, and the infrastructure is not up to expected standards. In the case of Isiolo, we only have one girls' national school. We do not have a boys' national school. The second is low-cost boarding. The funding that is supposed to go to low-cost boarding schools serving Arid and Semi-Arid Areas (ASAL) counties very well has dramatically gone down. We want to understand why it has gone down. This concept was established because of the mobile livelihood styles of pastoralists. Access, retention and completion of school has been a problem. Where do you expect those children to go if you drop funding low-cost boarding schools? Lastly, as you know, the last El Nino affected so many schools. Some villages were submerged, and some schools were destroyed. Some villages opted to move to higher grounds, and there were no learning facilities in those villages. I know that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) is supposed to do something about that. However, the mandate to ensure every child is in a school lies with the Ministry. As I speak, there is no learning that is happening in a town centre called Iresaboru in my county because there are no schools."
