Speaker, I am not volunteering, but I can just give information especially on issues concerning that amount of money. Hon. Members, I think it was in this Parliament where it was noted in Departmental Committee on Education that there is always a budget gap of Ksh20 billion on capitation. As a Committee, we placed before the Budget and Appropriations Committee that the Government owe schools Ksh9000 per child in every school totalling to what Hon. Mbui has said. I tabled it before the Budget and Appropriation Committee. I think the Chair knows that they need to fund up to Ksh54 billion in terms of fees arrears. You know the Government is a parent to the schools. That is where we are. In the last Budget, the Budget and Appropriations Committee factored in Ksh2.5 billion, which is a paltry money. It is good that this issue is brought before this House which appropriates monies. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
