    "content": "suppliers. Unsettled claims arising from such arrangements are to be addressed between the parties, in accordance with their contractual framework, as the Ministry was not involved. The Ministry has already paid the contractor to the extent of the certified works. On the question concerning the plans by the Ministry to review its contractor selection and monitoring processes in future projects to prevent similar occurrences, the Ministry has adopted a decentralised approach to the implementation of projects. For example, the construction of Grade Nine classrooms was undertaken by the schools directly. This means that the Ministry will channel funds directly to schools, and the schools will source for contractors. The Ministry disbursed funds to schools, which then procured contractors and monitored the implementation of the projects. To enhance monitoring and supervision, the Ministry will leverage the Geo-Enabling Initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS), which has been integrated into the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). Through the embedded KOBO Toolbox, data on school infrastructure will be efficiently captured by both school administrators and field officers. The GEMS tool has been fully incorporated into NEMIS to facilitate real-time reporting on infrastructure development. We respectfully submit, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
