    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Chanzu wrote to me on 13th October, 2010, requesting to know the fate of the constituency fund, particularly Mazugi Primary School. You realise in the Order Paper, it is not talking of Mazugi, but Madangi Primary School, which does not exist. Secondly, I have in my possession, the schools that were recommended from Vihiga Constituency for support from the headquarters. Again, if the hon. Member wishes, I can table that document. With regard to Western Vihiga, Mazugi Primary School, the bank account number was given and the branch was created as Mbale. The account is No.111396185. You will notice that this is information that was given by the headteacher through the Education Officer to Nairobi. Therefore, the delay has not been occasioned by inactivity in my Ministry, but it originated by, first of all, filing the wrong numbers from that level. Having said that, I have also gone a step further and discovered that out of the entire list that we were given, the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), particularly changed their account numbers from 14 digits to ten digits. Therefore, one of the problems was to do with the bank itself because they changed their procedures. Our Accounts Department has been able to streamline that and now there are only four secondary schools that have not received their money. I can assure the hon. Member that the mistake has been rectified. We do not just send money without getting a written reply from the ground that this is the actual account for accounting purposes. I want to assure him that, indeed, I have received from the District Education Officer a letter dated 3rd of November, 2010, confirming that, that is the true account for those schools, so that somebody is held accountable for any loss of any funds. The money will be there."
