    "content": "The Report shows very clearly that there was a syndicate in the NLC involving officers in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the National Treasury, which moved very fast to release this money to the said companies. Because of that move the Government, and by extension Kenyans, lost money. If the money, Kshs1.5 billion, was to be used to build classrooms in our schools at the National Government Constituencies Development Fund’s (NG- CDF) proposed rate per class, then we would have built 3,000 classrooms in the country. We know that infrastructure in our schools is not good. I support the Report which advises that the NLC and the National Treasury take responsibility. I note that the Report did not come clear in stating that the benefiting companies or firms should be pursued to repay the money. That is a recommendation that is glaringly missing in the Report. The fact that the money was taken and, perhaps, used elsewhere does not mean that it cannot be traced back. I support the Motion as amended. The companies that received the money be pursued with a view of them returning the money which they took illegally."
