"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, transport is a major problem in my Ministry. In the last Budget, along with the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, we requested the Treasury to provide us with Kshs1.2 billion to purchase vehicles, particularly for some of the most difficult areas. All that we got in the Budget was Kshs40 million. I have since then revisited the matter with the Treasury and we have had discussions. I have made presentations and written to the Treasury about the need for us to achieve the objective stated in our MDGs of education for all, particularly in the new nomadic education policy that we have launched. It is important that, that matter be addressed. We have not received any reply. I intend to revisit the matter because without that critical tool of enhancing support programmes for education in those difficult and hard places â so as to reach the children - it is going to be a futile exercise. So, bear with me. I intend to raise it again. I have discussed it with the relevant Committee of this House. We have agreed to make a joint approach to the Treasury on this matter."
