    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking the Government for the quick action. On Tuesday afternoon, we had a sitting of my Committee and we made a statement to the effect that we expected the Minister to act within seven days and he acted within one day which was very good. However, the real very serious concern that we have here is that this money is being released one month and four days after the schools have opened. We are not sure whether schools have actually been running without money and as a committee, we had asked the Government, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance to be releasing this money at least one week before schools open. Could he give an undertaking that with effect from next term, we shall be seeing the Government releasing this money at least one week before schools open so that head teachers can prepare for the official opening of the schools? Two, this is President Kibaki’s legacy and looking at the proposed estimates, already the Ministry is confirming that there is a shortfall of Kshs14 billion for the same programme. Could he assure Kenyans that this programme will not come to an end with the end of the term of His Excellency the President?"
