    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Although we have no official records regarding the actual dropouts from Kajiado District, we are aware as a Ministry that there are problems of dropouts across the country due to famine. April 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 725 (b) In response to the above problem, we have done a few things but we would like to do much more than that. Firstly, we have dispatched the first tranche of the bursary which is Kshs1 million for every constituency. For Kajiado it is Kshs3 million. Two other tranches are going to be released soon. I think, in fact, by the end of this week or the beginning of next week, Kshs2 million should be released. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, there are other ways in which we are supporting schools in the country and which can make possible some savings that could go into supporting famine relief programmes including support for 20 laboratories in every district with regard to equipment, grants for arid and semi-arid areas and, of course, the overall Government programmes on famine relief for all schools and other relevant communities in the country. However, even more crucially, we have come up with an amount of money whose formula we are working out this week to ensure that some money will be available from outside the Ministry for districts that are severely affected by drought."
