    "content": "THAT, aware that Free Primary Education (FPE) is an important milestone to economic and social development in the country; further aware that since the introduction of FPE in 2002, the Government has spent huge amount of money on the programme; noting that the recent Report by the Ministry of Education submitted to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission indicated that the Government could be losing millions of capitation funds in public schools through inflated enrollment figures, fraudulent deals that include irregular allocation of funds, procurement of goods and questionable expenditure by headteachers; concerned that the spirit of FPE was to provide a chance to every student in the country to acquire free education giving effect to Article 43(1)(f) of the Constitution; noting that most headteachers do not possess requisite financial management skills to proficiently handle FPE funds, this House urges the Government, through County Education Boards, to recruit school bursars to ensure prudent utilisation and management of FPE funds dispersed to various schools in the country."
