    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when Mr. Uhuru was the Minister for Finance, we introduced the centres of excellence. Those were very welcome ideas. There were to be two primary schools and a secondary school. We thought this would continue, but because it was benefiting the people, the forces of darkness came in and prevented this programme from continuing. Up to now when you move around, you will find that some of these projects are incomplete. So, Mr. Minister, try to prevail upon your friend Mr. Githae to re-introduce these centres of excellence. By now, I know I would be having five very good secondary schools and over 10 very good primary schools. That could have been a start. But when you leave this to the CDF alone, we tell people CDF is just 2.5 per cent of the total overall Budget. The local authorities take 5 per cent and the remaining percentage, around 80 per cent remains in the Central Government. People keep on condemning Members of Parliament just because of the 2.5 per cent which is supposed to be spread all over. I would appeal that we go back to the Minister for Finance and tell him that we need proper infrastructure in schools and we shall support you in this Parliament if we still have time. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
