    "content": "report which is before us now talks about direct disbursement of money to schools, which has resulted in the loss of Kshs4.2 billion. Could the Prime Minister tell us, now that he has the benefit of hindsight, what he will do about the following officers who were responsible for direct disbursement? They were formerly at the Ministry but they have moved on. One is the Permanent Secretary who was the Accounting Officer. In this case, it was Prof. Karega Mutahi. The second one is the Chief Finance Officer, who in this case, was Alice Ngichu and the third one is the Principal Accountant who, in this case was Nancy Kinyua and, lastly, the Senior Accountant who, in this case, was Rachel Ndung’u. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of the House, the way direct disbursement was working is that it is only these officers who were wiring the money directly to the accounts of the respective schools. So, if they took 25 officers to court because of what the KACC found out, with respect to the workshop money on imprest, what will the Prime Minister do with these officers that I have named? More importantly, he is on record as having suspended the Minister for Education because of this scam. Now that the scam is there, what will the Prime Minister do to Prof. Ongeri, who is the Minister in question?"
