    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, according to the Budget Statement read by the hon. Minister for Finance on 8th June, 2011 for the 2011/2012 Financial Year, an additional Kshs840 million was promised to scale up the bursary programme in order to cater for Kshs20,000 annual bursary fees for additional 42,000 orphans and children from poor households in secondary schools throughout the country. However, following a meeting at the Treasury between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance, it was agreed that the Ministry of Education reallocates some of the money to cater for drought mitigation in the country. Out of Kshs1.34 billion meant for bursary, Kshs400 million was reallocated towards that purpose. (b) The Ministry has already disbursed Kshs462, 495, 852 to the 210 constituencies using the existing constituency bursary disbursement formula and is preparing to disburse the second batch of the remaining amount in April 2012."
