    "content": "THAT, aware that since the inception and implementation of the Free Primary Education (FPE) Programme in January, 2003, enrolment in primary schools has increased from 5.9 million pupils in 2003 to 8.7 million pupils in the country, which translates to an increase of 47.46 per cent in our public primary schools; further aware that in order to reduce the cost of burden of primary education to parents, the Government established the FPE Annual Capitation Grant per child at a cost of Kshs1,020 for primary schools in 2003; taking into account the need to meet the constitutional right of every Kenyan child to free and compulsory basic education; deeply concerned that the capitation grant per child has remained constant at Kshs1,020 since 2003 despite the inflation levels having risen thus undermining the purchasing power for schools; this House urges the Government to increase the capitation grant per child from Kshs1,020 to Kshs3,060 for primary schools."
