    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that two national diploma training colleges, Kagumo and Kibabii, have not been previously getting equal grants. This is because Kibabii Diploma Teacher Training College is a new college, which has been undergoing a lot of infrastructural development for the last three years. (b) The criteria used to determine the allocation is the needs of each college and the availability of funds from the Ministry. The new college, Kibabii, has fewer facilities and receives a higher allocation for development of programmes and facilities required to meet the basic standards for teacher training in addition to operations, while Kagumo is a well established college and is given funds mainly for operations, maintenance and improvement, hence the difference. In addition to the allocations for both recurrent and development expenditures, Kagumo TTC has received infrastructure support from the Government through the Ministry of Public Works for the construction of a multi-purpose hall, four computer laboratories, two halls and 16 class rooms, which since 2010 has totaled to Kshs208 million. (c) In view of the answers I have given in parts (a) and (b) the two colleges are allocated resources equitably and according to their specific needs. Thank you."
