"content": "even if they have received contributions from the consolidated money. They will still pretend that nothing was sent and, therefore, parents must pay school fees or have their children sent home. That is practically what is happening now. My brother, Sen. Thang’wa, should emphasise on how we can thoroughly audit and have checks and balances in schools. Can we make sure that any money received in any school is transparently put on top of the table? We should ensure that every child that is in school get information that his school fees is paid. Therefore, no parent should be bothered or disturbed about his child in school. The parents should as well get information that school fee is paid. The chief and assistant chiefs in location and sub-locations, respectively should know that a certain child has benefited from bursary money. This will ensure that there are checks and balances. This awareness will also ensure all stakeholders know this information and that nobody will take advantage of it. I say this because some principals take advantage and line up their pockets yet this money is for bursaries. Recently, I went to a school which was given Kshs2 million for construction of double laboratory. Another school was given Kshs500,000 which they used to construct their laboratory. However, it is a pity that the school which received Kshs2 million has not completed construction of the double laboratory. This is because of lack of accountability and serious auditing that would have saved them this money from broke principal and anybody that is corruptly taking advantage and not completing the project. I do not know whether to support or not. I leave it there."
