    "content": "management of FPE funds that are disbursed to those primary schools. If the Ministry would train the board of management to manage those funds, it would be better. Even if we employ a bursar, he will collude with the head teacher and they will still mismanage those funds. So, the best thing we can do is to train the board of management to run the funds that have been disbursed to their schools. We also have auditors in every constituency. I would ask the Ministry to take the responsibility to the auditors. The auditors are there. It should ask them to have regular checks on those funds. It has come to our knowledge that some suppliers, for instance, of books--- These books are very important to those students yet there are schools which have not seen even a single exercise book or text book. The head teachers collude with the suppliers and forge documents and at the end of the day, not even a single book reaches the schools. Colleagues in this House may not know about the funds that are disbursed to these primary schools. They are disbursed to finance areas which are very important. Therefore, the money is used to enhance education in our primary schools. We have the areas of maintenance, supply of books, water, electricity and others. Why can we not ask our able CS to go down to primary schools and see what the head teachers are doing with these funds? It is a lot of money. We cannot cheat ourselves and say it is not a lot of money; it is a lot of money. As we pass this Motion, employing a bursar is not enough."
