    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not like transferring the problem. In cases like this, teachers are automatically interdicted. Depending on the nature of the crime, they are then removed from the payroll. We do not transfer them to other schools. In the case of that particular school, it seems like there was misappropriation of funds over many years. It seems like headteachers had made it a habit because nobody was checking. As a matter of fact, for that same school, about Kshs8 million had been misappropriated by different headmasters. What is happening is that, apart from investigations relating to Mr. Maritim, the auditors are also trying to apportion blame in terms of how much the principals who served in that school misappropriated. That is a very serious case. It is unfortunate that we have to, sometimes, wait until amounts of money accumulated get to almost Kshs10 million before we realise that in August 15, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3177 our schools, that is happening. I would like to congratulate Mr. Sambu for that. But, at the same time, I am complaining that it took so long. It took Kshs10 million for him to realise that the school was losing so much money from headmasters."
