    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the papers are not many; Sen. Wangari has more papers than these and if you want to read them, you can do so later. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the FPE Fund has been given as a policy and every child receives Kshs1,420, out of which Kshs764 goes to purchase of instructional materials while Kshs655 is for general school operations. They are given 50 per cent in First Term, 30 per cent in Second Term and 20 per cent in Third Term. So, in a year, the Government gives Kshs9.7 billion to all primary schools in Kenya. So, as far as the question is concerned, the balance of what is not given is only 30 per cent and it amounts to Kshs4.1 billion, which will be given as soon as Second Term sets in. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the measures taken to ensure smooth and timely release of FPE funds are as follows. Each school is required to operate two primary school bank accounts; that is, institutional materials and general school operations and maintenance bank accounts. The management of this money at all times requires constant check from the Director of Education. Anything transferred from those accounts must be communicated either through the Director of Education or by the Director of Education in consultation with the parents. This Statement has been signed by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Education. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
