    "content": "deterrence that you can have to avoid similar incidents in future. I do not know what you are doing as a Ministry. In the past, we used to have very quick and irrational decisions of closing down the school, cancelling its licence and so on and so forth. That has not been done in this case. But investigations to show some degree of criminal responsibility and culpability is important. Two, what brought us here, among other things, is this funding model that you have tried to explain. But you need to go and look at the issue of management of public bursaries, whether it is amalgamation or whatever you call it. From where many Members and I sit, since we started this conversation, even governors have been calling, saying that it is a point worth following. This money comes from the same source. Everybody is administering a bursary using public resources. There are administration costs, corruption and theft of this money. If you come up with a proper policy to consolidate or amalgamate, or whatever you call this money, it will go a long way in improving our education system in the country. As it is, these Members have cases they bring to me where a parent is given a cheque of Ksh15,000 and the managers of their NG-CDF take Ksh5,000 back. There is corruption all along the way. We should protect this money. This House is ready to give you a lot to protect it anytime you wish. Do not do it alone. We have a committee of this House that will work with you to ensure that these knee-jerk reactions in the management of public resources come to an end. This will enable us to give this country an education system that is affordable and accessible to all. You can look at that. I will ask the Leader of the Majority Party to look at The Hansard, his team and all the Members, and much sooner than later, we will call you again."
