    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Chairman for the response but I am disappointed by the response that he has given. It is extremely inadequate and does not respond to the issues that I had sought in my Statement. Clearly, even after none other than His Excellency himself was on national television giving assurance that all public schools will have been issued with title deeds by the last day of March, which is just a few days from today- this was a deadline that he imposed on himself and the Government- nothing has been done since then. You have heard clearly that there are 5,319 schools that have applied for title deeds but only 300 have been issued with the title deeds. After the Lang’ata Road Primary School saga, one would have thought that the Government would be more serious and ensure that all public schools have their titles. These statistics are worrying. My questions to the Chairman are as follows:- (1) What is the Government position to the effect that titling costs would be waived, so that schools are given titles without paying? (2) He has given two appendices to this answer that contradict one another. Appendix 1 states that 378 schools in Vihiga have applied for titles, but none has been given. In appendix 2, there are eight schools that have been given titles. I want him to clarify which is which, because that information is contradictory. The Chairman was also unable to give us a list of all schools. I thought we work in the spirit of collective responsibility and are expected to get the list of all the schools in the Republic of Kenya. I want you to compel the Chairman to bring that particular list to this House, so that Members can scrutinize schools from their various counties."
