"content": " Hon. Speaker, I have two short questions. Firstly, we appreciate your innovativeness because things have to change. Things cannot remain the same. What informed your decision to have the lowest band at 5 per cent? As we address the bursary issue, we know that we are dealing with students who cannot pay anything. We even pay their bus fare to school. Why do you not have a category for the invisible poor we have been taking care of? Secondly, we know that this country has had a paradigm shift from centralisation to decentralisation, which was the major drive towards devolution. All this was aimed at enhancing service delivery. We have seen that it takes years, and not months, for schools to get capitation. Were it not for the NG-CDF, most of the lower cost day secondary schools would be closed due to late capitation. What is the rationale, or what are we looking for in trying to centralise everything when we know the bottlenecks we have experienced in centralised service delivery? Thank you."
