    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Yes, I am aware that schools are closing for second term holidays on 10th August, 2012. With regard to the disbursment of the free education funds, I wish to inform the House that the last tranche of free primary education funds of Kshs2, 649,248,050 for the term in question was released in May, 2012. On the other hand, the Kshs5.1 billion for Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) for the second term was disbursed to schools in the same month, leaving some balance. The schedules for the disbursement of the FDSE balance of Kshs4.8 billion have been prepared and are awaiting Exchequer release. (b) As I have stated, the Ministry has prepared the disbursement schedules for the release of Kshs4.8 billion to clear the FDSE funds balance for Term Two of 2012. Thereafter, the Ministry will disburse both the Free Primary Education (FPE) and FDSE funds for Financial Year 2012/2013. As per the planned schedules and arrangement with the Treasury, 20 per cent of the funds are normally disbursed in September; 50 per cent in January and 10 per cent in May. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
