    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I want to take the second Statement. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the delay and failure to remit capitation funds to public schools currently amounting to Kshs64 billion in arrears. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The reasons why the National Treasury has failed to release capitation funds despite the urgent cash flow challenges facing public schools across the country. (2) The long-term strategies in place to prevent delays in the disbursement of capitation and ensure continuous funding for school operations, infrastructure and payment of suppliers. (3) The safeguards being implemented to protect school principals and management from potential legal and financial liabilities due to unpaid suppliers and increasing pressure from other stakeholders. I thank you. I have taken both Statements."
