    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, on the area of education, capitation still remains one of the biggest items in this Budget. This Budget has allocated Ksh90 billion for school capitation - Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), secondary and primary education. You heard about the uproar that the National Treasury did not allocate resources for examination. In this Budget, we have allocated 5.9 billion for examinations. Examination is a process and it starts with procuring exam materials. It goes into logistics later on and lastly into payment of examiners. The total vote for all that programme is Ksh12 billion, but for the start, we have allocated Ksh5.9 billion so that this process goes on. In the course of time, this Parliament will appropriate the other resources to support it fully. We have resources for recruitment of 20,000 more JSS interns in this Budget at Ksh7.5 billion. In the area of health, we have appropriated resources for procurement of vaccines. As you know, vaccines are very important and this country must be self-reliant in that area. We appropriated Ksh4.6 billion for that. We are building a cancer center at Kisii Level 5 Referral Hospital that is going to cost Ksh1 billion from this Budget. We have Universal Health Coverage (UHC) workers that have been demonstrating across the country for the last one year. It is the determination of this House that those workers be converted into permanent and pensionable terms. In this Budget, we have allocated Ksh6.1 billion towards that."
