    "content": "There is a re-allocation of Kshs150 million to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. I know that the able Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, the Member for Murang’a County, is seated behind me. I am sure she is waiting in queue to contribute to this Motion. We will talk more about it. This has been taken to computer supply because the Jubilee Administration flagship project is the provision of laptop computers to Class One pupils. Let me confess that some schools in my constituency have been chosen to participate in the pilot project. The Class One pupils have tablets which work very well. It is very exciting to see a small kid in Class One with a tablet. I attended several barazas in the community. The kids showed us how the tablets work. Each pupil carries 128 books and so, instead of carrying heavy bags every morning, they can carry tablets. They carry all the books that are required in that class. So, the laptops project is very important. It is a milestone towards achieving technology targets in this country. Some of us thought that the promise made by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta would not be of any good, but it is. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology needs to employ teachers to make the laptop project fully functional. Infrastructure development in this Ministry has been left to the CDF only. For example, the construction of classrooms, administration blocks and teachers’ quarters is being done by the CDF. The CDF should not be left to do this alone. The Ministry needs to factor in some funds for infrastructure development."
