    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There are 21 primary schools under the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP) in Samburu East constituency. The status of their infrastructure development is as follows: 17 primary schools completed their projects, three primary schools have uncompleted projects, one primary school did not receive the funds, which is Kshs600,000 that had been allocated to it due to technical errors, which are being sorted out. More details are given in the table which I hope the member has. (b) The KESSP programme was a joint funded project between the Government of Kenya and external development partners. The programme was halted in 2008 when the development partners pulled out leaving the Government with some uncompleted projects. The budgetary allocation for infrastructure development in the Ministry of Education is inadequate to complete all the stalled projects at once. Therefore, they will be prioritized with the others throughout the country, and completed in phases. It is in this connection that I request the hon. Members to assist the Ministry in completing some of the stalled KESSEP projects in their respective constituencies using CDF and other resources."
