"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank Sen. Kagwe for giving that brief Statement on the disbursement of money that is supposed to go towards secondary schools in Kenya. However, what is amazing is that as he says that the money will be released by Friday, that is the time that schools are supposed to be buying examination materials and equipment for exams scheduled to start on 22nd October, 2013. There are schools located in far off places like Turkana, Lodwar and Mandera. Officials from those schools will have to travel to Nairobi to buy the same equipment and materials. I have been a principal before and I know this business is a bit tricky. The KNEC has its own timetable. There is no way we can force the KNEC to fit the programme of the Ministry of Education. It appears that there is somebody in the Ministry of Education who is sleeping on his or her job. This person should be named so that we do not have heads rolling when it comes to who will be blamed. We do not want heads of schools to suffer pecuniary embarrassment when they are unable to meet the costs of running exams. This is a pity. This programme was initiated by the national Government. Money should be paid on time."
