The amount deducted from the digital literacy (laptop) programme will be redirected to the development of Konza project.
The budget for school laptops is set to drop by Sh500 million as Parliament moves to slash it for the second time this financial year.
The reorganised expenditure plans tabled in Parliament last week indicate that the amount deducted from the digital literacy (laptop) programme will be redirected to the development of Konza project.
The Konza City Project also benefits from Sh30 million hived off from the second phase of the China-funded National Optic Fibre Backbone and another Sh20 million deducted from government’s shared services.
“Minimal progress is being made towards Konza City Project due to insufficient funding,” departmental committee on ICT observed, paving way for the laptop budget cut.
