    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you look at the whole budget, you will realise that we are actually giving the Ministry of Education close Kshs500 billion. If you look at the allocation that we have made to the State Department for Education, you will find that it is Kshs114 billion. If you look at Post Training and Skills Development Department, you will find that it is about Kshs200 million. TVETs have been allocated about Kshs32 billion, and now we are allocating Kshs252 billion to TSC. It is clear that this Parliament is cognizant of the need to educate our children. It is true, as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research has said, that this particular sector of our life needs a little bit more funding, but I would urge the Chair and his Departmental Committee that oversees the Ministry of Education to take a careful approach to this huge budget that we have allocated to this State Department under the Education sector. A lot of this money, sometimes, is allocated willy-nilly. We need to make sure that every shilling goes to the purpose to which it is meant. I support."
