Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera has said many schools have not conducted a health inspection in their facilities for the last five years.
Nabwera was speaking on Tuesday during an interview with K24 TV.
"99.9 per cent of the schools have no health inspection report in the last five years," he said.
Nabwera termed it a bold move that Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has ordered the health inspection of schools in his county.
"I want to thank Governor Baraza for that decision, it's a bold decision. I know his colleagues are fidgeting, because this thing is basically going to say that we abandoned the child health-wise," he said.
He said that even though the health inspection is being conducted and a report made, the revelations therein might be surprising.
This, Nabwera said, might make the report never see the light of day.
Nabwera went on to question where the capitation money held by the Ministry of Education as health insurance for learners goes.
"Looking at the situation in Mukumu and how those children have died in very poor facilities, where does that money go? Who is it enriching? The medical insurance money, how is it helping schools? "he posed.
This comes after a case of suspected food poisoning at Mukumu Girls High School in Kakamega that caused the death of three students and a teacher.
The school was closed indefinitely for investigations.
