    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Auditor-General’s Report on the NG-CDF for the nine constituencies in Bungoma County. As I stand here, I want to narrate a story of a family in Dagoretti South which I met recently during a bursary event. A mother came with her two daughters dressed in school uniform and she said: “My two children have been chased away from school in Kajiado.” Of course, the bursary process takes a long time. First, is making of applications which are vetted, the board approves and thereafter, cheques are issued. The allocation for three-quarters of the Financial Year 2023/2024 have already been utilised. So, I decided to visit that family in Dagoretti South because I like a holistic approach to poverty to see the interventions that are needed. I saw that the family has eight children. One child finished high school and attained a mean grade of D. When I spoke to him, he told me that he scored that grade because he was often sent away from school. So, he was unable to get good grades. There are four younger children who are supposed to be in Junior Secondary School (JSS). They had not reported back to school because the family could not afford to pay fees. I will handle this problem next week. Yesterday, I took the two children back to their school in Kajiado. They did not have money for shopping and secondary schools do not provide sanitary towels. I bought The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
