The allocation for TSC will include Ksh7.2 billion for recruitment of intern teachers, and Ksh980 for capacity building of teachers on Competence-Based Education (CBE). Further, I have proposed an allocation of Ksh7 billion for free primary education, Ksh28.9 billion for Junior Secondary School (JSS) capitation, and Ksh51.9 billion for free day secondary education. In addition, I have also proposed an allocation of Ksh5.9 billion for administering the national examinations, Ksh3 billion for the school feeding programme, and Ksh4 billion for the Technical and Vocational Educational and Training (TVET) and entrepreneurship project. To enhance infrastructure development and provide a safe learning environment in our schools, I have proposed an allocation of Ksh1.7 billion for primary and secondary schools’ infrastructure, and Ksh1.4 billion for construction and equipping of technical training institutes and vocational training centres. In addition, I have proposed Ksh13.3 billion for the Kenya Primary Education Equity in Learning Programme (KPEELP), and Ksh2.3 billion for the Kenya Secondary School Quality Improvement Project (SEQIP). Other proposed allocations to the education sector include: Ksh993 million for research, science, technology and innovation, Ksh41.5 billion to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) for provision of loans to university and TVET students; this has increased from Ksh35 billion. There is also Ksh16.9 billion for scholarship for university students, and Ksh7.7 billion capitation and scholarships for TVET students. In supporting manufacturing for job creation and to continue promoting local industries, I have proposed an allocation of Ksh18 billion under various implementing Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). Out of this, Ksh4.5 billion will support establishment of County Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks (CIAIPs) in various counties, Ksh2.8 billion will go to Supporting Access to Finance and Enterprise Recover (SAFER), Ksh602 million for a development of Athi River Textile Hub, Ksh705 million for establishment of flagship Export Processing Zones (EPZs) hubs, Ksh504 million for development of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Textile Park in Naivasha, and Ksh798 million for Kenya Jobs and Economic Transformation (KJET). In order to revitalise and maximise the benefits from our cash crops, I have proposed Ksh2 billion for Coffee Cherry Advance Revolving Fund (CCARF), and another Ksh2 billion for coffee debt waivers. This is up from the Ksh3 billion that was allocated to this sub-sector in the last financial year. Another Ksh1.5 billion has been allocated for sugar sector reforms, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
