    "content": "I would like to reply to Mr. Affey with regard to his question of ASAL areas and, specifically, North Eastern Province (NEP). I would like to assure him that there is an area that has received affirmative action. We have special grants for boarding schools. This is already operational in schools in ASAL areas, and nowhere else. There are also special scholarships for girls from NEP. We now have more than 200 girls from NEP in our national and provincial schools. That is the affirmative action that we have put in place. The support for mobile schools has increased. We now have 91 mobile schools. That is positive action that we are taking. If you look at the budget, each school is getting about Kshs400,000 plus teachers. Support is being given to secondary schools in ASAL areas. We have targeted support for infrastructure. In fact, the USAID has covered the entire budget. So much money has been provided. I would like to put this matter to rest. The feeling that there is less concern for the ASAL areas is misplaced at this point in time. We have done very well and everything is moving on."
