    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education, Science and Technology on the following: In view of the transfer of various functions to the county governments, it is becoming very difficult for some counties to determine whether they can use their revenues to finance certain activities. In particular, I would appreciate if the Chair would clarify, with regard to education, the following issues:- (i) Whether the county governments can use that money for the purposes of establishing bursaries for secondary and university students because there are concerns over that. (ii) Whether they can recruit and pay teachers through the board of governors system because a number of counties have their priorities as lack of teachers. (iii) Whether they can purchase equipment and establish infrastructure in schools. Again, this is an area that a number of counties have a concern with and I will appreciate if the Chair would clarify the issue."
