    "content": "posed by the lack of fences along school borders. School heads and boards of management are required to prioritize the fencing of schools using the capitation that the Government sends to them. At the same time, we call upon Members of Parliament (MP) to dedicate a part of their National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) to support the development of critical infrastructure such as fences for our schools. On Part (c) of the Question, Isiolo County has benefited from the funds from the construction of junior school classrooms. The Ministry has disbursed resources for the construction of Grade 9 classrooms in the county. Already, 22 classrooms have been built in 21 schools. An additional 50 classrooms are being constructed in 42 schools across the county. The Government has also provided Kshs11,725,483 to the two constituencies in the county for the construction of additional classrooms. Mogore Primary School is one of the targeted schools. The construction of Grade 6 classroom has been earmarked by the area NG-CDF for this financial year. It is also important to note that the capitation disbursed by junior secondary school has a component of Kshs4,000 for maintenance and infrastructure. Parents with children in boarding schools also pay an extra Kshs2,000 towards maintenance and infrastructure as part of parental obligation. On Part (d) of that Question, the resources that have been provided to address infrastructure challenges are as I have explained above. There is no additional budget for the financial year 2024/2025 for infrastructure. I submit."
