    "content": " Okay, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. These things happen and will continue happening. I have several other points, but I will make notes and pass on to my colleague. Lastly, I want to emphasize the point you made. Today, you go to the countryside, the school has no laboratory and library but it has a Kshs6 million bus, a bus shed, a driver who drives it at least once a week, an insurance cover and everything. This is a mania of buses. When I was a Member of Parliament for a constituency, I made it very clear that if you wanted a bus, you go and combine four schools and I help you get a bus that will be available for use to those four schools. What is happening is that those buses are business for our brothers and sisters; the headteachers. They lease them out for funerals and other things. This is where we are failing. Basic education means and excludes buses. I have even seen the school that burnt dormitories because the students were not allowed to watch football. Watching football is not a core function of the school. Let me end here so that we can go to the next business. I wish I had more time."
