    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that there will be National Music Festivals to take place in Narok as from 29th June, 2012 to 9th July, 2012. However, I am aware of the following: The National Music Festivals is scheduled to take place in Meru from 6th August, 2012 14th August, 2012 and not in Narok. There will be a provincial music festivals for Rift Valley Province scheduled to take place in Narok with effect from 29th June, 2012 to 9th July, 2012. Nine primary schools, that is St. Monica Lorwa Girls Primary, Loyo Primary, St. Michael Kawalase Primary, St. Mary’s Primary, Lodwar Mixed Primary, Kalokol Mixed Primary, Kanamukimere Primary, Napuu Primary and Napolong’u Primary qualified to go and participate in the Rift Valley Province Music Festivals in Narok University. The first six schools out of the nine mentioned above are travelling to Narok. However, the last three schools are unable to travel to Narok due to inadequacy of funds. (b) The Ministry has been allocating Turkana Central District Education Office for the last three years the following funds for extra curricula activities: In 2009/2010, Kshs440,000; 2010/2011, Kshs400,000; 2011/2012, Kshs400,000. The total comes to Kshs1,240,000 for the last three years. In addition, every school is given a capitation of Kshs50 per child for curricula activities up to the district level. However, these funds are not adequate. That is why the Ministry is advocating for increased capitation in Free Primary Education (FPE) and Free Day Secondary Education (FSDE) in the budget allocation. (c) The District Education Officer (DEO) has provided Kshs100,000 to transport the six schools and to facilitate the pupils to Narok for the music festivals."
