    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Children Bill. I am just going to talk about two or three aspects of it. One is education which is very dear to my heart. Education in this country disadvantages the child. As much as we say that we have free primary and secondary education, in most instances, this is not the case. You will find that even at pre-school level, there is always some payment that parents have to make. When it comes to primary education, there are so many aspects in play and it becomes virtually impossible for the Government to police every school and make sure that things like uniform levies and school feeding programmes are run properly. I wish there was a decree that education in primary day schools should be free. This is so that parents do not have to pay Ksh10,000 or Ksh15,000 for lunch and remedial fees. My plea goes to the Education Cabinet Secretary, he talks big and rough, but he must admit that he has failed to implement the free primary school education. I know presidential aspirants are saying that education is going to be free in their governments. I heard one say that, in their tenure, education is going to be free from pre-school The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
