• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (d) The Kshs2 million allocated to the district for both primary and secondary school co-curricula activities was spent as per the attached schedule. I think that is what you do not have. I will give it to you since I have it here. I am sorry that it was not attached to your answer. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the money to primary schools for co-curricular activities was disbursed on 3rd March, 2008. The money for secondary schools was disbursed on 4th June, 2008. Each disbursement was Kshs1 million but unfortunately you do not have the copy of the details of how the money was spent by schools which I have. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I am sorry about that, but I will give you a photocopy of it after this answer. It may help you to explain to your constituents what happened. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we give is based on the needs from the districts and also on what we get from the Treasury. view
