    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the previous speaker should have been here in the first instance and he is a Member of the Committee. I wanted to say that KBC is going down simply because the equipment that was supplied by the Japanese Government was quite unacceptable. It was an indication of dumping. Today, this country is left with a big debt of over Kshs23 billion. For this industry to be vibrant, the Government needs to pump in enough resources so that all these requirements are rolled out in the rural areas as indicated by the Minister for Finance. Under Sub-Vote 200, Head 287, the Ministry provided modern computer laboratories in the 210 constituencies and allocated some Kshs600 million to buy 210 buses and equip them with furniture and computers to accommodate 24 to 30 pupils per class. A further Kshs1 million was allocated for the provision of services to the mobile buses which are going to be used for teaching pupils in classes in the constituencies. We have the opinion that this comes down to some Kshs2.9 million which was not indicated in the budget or which may not even be enough for all the 29 constituencies."
