    "content": "how we are going to go to the next election if we remain without the laptops. What are we going to tell our kids? School fees guidelines have been given but nobody is following them. I do not want to say someone is sleeping on the job but I want to say that someone is probably taking serious issues about education for granted and we need to wake up. I hope the principals and the Ministry that is here today can hear us loud, particularly on the issue of laptops. I do not know what we are going to tell Kenyans. We love this President and we love this Government but we will lack answers when that day comes, when people start asking us about laptops. I have never heard a single Press conference from the Ministry of Education telling us the truth about this laptop issue, telling us the truth about the kids in Mandera and when they are going to receive their teachers, which is a right. On those counties like Mandera and Wajir, the Constitution of Kenya at the promulgation date, gave us a very important asset called Equalisation Fund. The Fund would have given us an opportunity to be equal with the rest of the country. We are today sitting here four years down the line knowing that money is somewhere stuck in Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) while our people are suffering through education and through everything else. I do not know any time in our history when money was required to help the needy, and it was not provided. I want today to speak to the Ministry of Education; you have a responsibility to provide what the President wanted us to get. It need to be done so that when we go for elections in 2017, we will not lack answers. We do not want to give a chance to our friends in CORD on the other side to tell us what we have not done on our Manifesto. Thank you."
