    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When we were in Kitui, the Committee on Education had a chance to visit various schools with special needs and what we saw there will never leave our minds. This is because we actually saw a state of dire need. When we spoke to the various principals, this issue of capitation kept coming up. In fact, there seems to be an issue about which funds should go where as far as county governments are concerned and as far as the National Government is concerned. I think that the Committee on Education, when interrogating this Statement, needs to look at that, and go back to those schools and ensure that the implementation takes place. The new issue that has come up about capitation that should have been required for a particular institute, of Kshs158 million which is missing, is something that really disappoints. This is because there is no country that is going to develop without putting education first. Once efforts have been made towards capitation, then it is very important that people follow through to ensure that those funds are given, especially to students with special needs. They are already going through specific hardships and so, they do not need to be put through further hardship because of lack of capitation. Thank you."
