"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is my prayer that the Government of Kenya sees how to compensate such kinds of costs that are not intended to be incurred during the disbursement of the money. Items in Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu cannot cost the same with items in Kitale, Nairobi or Eldoret. So, it is our prayer that MOEST sees how they can increase this money for the areas that experience high influx of transportation and prices and have special schools. Another thing that I want to mention here is the issue of special schools like schools for the deaf and the blind. We want that money to be increased because that group is very special. The kind of environment they are in cannot be the same as with that of other students. So, we appeal to MOEST to see how they can increase that amount of money. Some of these students need special diet. They are not like the normal students who can take githeri and other normal foods. So, we want MOEST to see how these special schools can be compensated by increasing their amount above the normal disbursement that other schools get. Another issue that I want to highlight is the issue of support staff in schools. They are underpaid. It is our request to MOEST and those concerned to look into this issue. We may end up paying the bursars little money compared to the market rates. The support staff in schools like watchmen, cooks and office messengers are underpaid.
