    "content": "children to stay at home instead of them selling their cows to pay fees. It is very sad that we have famine and at the same time there is no school fees. I urge the Members of this House to unite as we proceed to the proposed kamukunji with the Cabinet Secretary of National Treasury, and the Attorney-General. We need to convince them on a percentage. If some students have not been able to go back to school during the Third Term, it means they are going to repeat a class because they did not sit for the end of year exams. We do not want to punish those children. A notice is normally given before such decisions are taken. We should have been given a notice of intention to stop operations of the NG-CDF of, say, five years by the court rather than just pressing the brakes and letting all the NG-CDF beneficiaries suffer. I would like to urge this honourable House to unite and ask, even if it is for the first quarter, for the NG-CDF to be released to every constituency. That is so that we can deal with the matter that is pressing us: school fees, taking students to form one, and others to the university and the next classes. I think if everybody will come to his senses that the thing this country is going through is not the best. We are not doing justice to our students and children wherever they are. They are used to Members of this House trying to give them the bursaries in their schools."
