I am aware that the Ministry has a guideline whereby the Government provides Ksh15,000 for junior secondary schools. However, you will find that the headteachers are charging Ksh3,000 per term for junior secondary school students. Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the regulated school fees for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

They need to promise and follow through with proper action."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On the question of the amount of money given to schools in terms of infrastructure repairs, where some schools are indicated to have received Ksh1,500,000 while the Member indicated that others are receiving more, as a Ministry, we will be working towards ensuring that there is a balance and equitable distribution of the available resources. In terms of ensuring that the funds that we release to the schools are utilised for the purpose for which they were released, we have our quality assurance officers under our Internal Audit Unit. They normally audit those funds to ensure that they have been correctly applied. Where we find that they have not been applied properly, action is then taken on a case-by-case basis."

"content": "The capitation that is given to junior secondary schools is about Ksh15,740. There is no requirement for parents to pay more than that because that is what we normally provide for. The headteachers are not allowed to charge extra levies. We have policies along with issued guidelines and circulars to that effect. Where a head teacher or a principal is found to have flouted the rule and is levying illegal levies, action is taken against them on a case-to-case basis. It is not a Government policy that they charge or ask for more money. I welcome the suggestion that the education sector budget be given priority and even be ring-fenced so that we are able to ensure that we keep our children and our teachers in school and in class. Thank you for that suggestion."
