    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, the issue of the NG-CDF is very important. I can imagine the students who are at home because of lack of fees. One student at home because of lack of school fees is one student too many. I know this fund is very important because I have witnessed some students who could not have gone through school, but their school fees were paid by bursaries. Therefore, I wish that Parliament can overwhelmingly support this Motion brought by Hon. Mule and Hon. Gichimu. When children go to school and are sent away for school fees, I pity them because I believe when student go home and there is a hiatus, sometimes they get exposed and change course. When they go back to school, they do not catch up. I believe some of them have the potential of becoming very good leaders in this country, engineers or doctors, but once they are sent home, they lose the momentum and going back becomes a problem. At this juncture, I wish we could also come up with a rule that students should not be sent home because of school fees. It is our responsibility as leaders to make sure that every student in this country is accorded education so that we do not lose good minds.
