    "content": "Mr. Speaker, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for this detailed response and tell him that the situation on the report is acceptable, but on the ground, where the rubber meets the road, the situation is different. In Kakamega and many other counties, all the heads of schools are waiting for money, which is not forthcoming. They are unable to fund the activities in the school and children end up being at home because of those delays. My first question. Cabinet Secretary, please, go to page 2 of your response and look at bullet 4 on the actual termly disbursements. What is the accuracy of this response if in Term One, you had 900,000 children enrolled, and in Term Three, it had increased by one million children? Where did these one million children come from that were not there in Term One? It begs for the answer. Are these actual figures or you are sending money for fake and imaginary beneficiaries? For my second question, I invite you to go to bullet 6 of your response. You are telling us that in the year 2023, there was a deficit of Kshs17.6 billion. Deficit! Cabinet Secretary, where do you expect the headteachers to get the money to meet this deficit of Kshs17 billion, when you have sent a circular, forbidding leadership of schools from leaving any charges to the parents through these children? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
