    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is the onus of the Attorney-General to advise the current Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to release the already budgeted for NG-CDF Funds so that children can go to school. Last weekend I experienced a very bad scenario. While I was traversing the constituency, I found a girl who had been sent home for school fees. She had trekked for about 30 kilometres. When I asked her where she was going, she said she was going to her home. Where she was going was an area that had been affected by bandits. She was not even sure whether she would find her parents in the same place she left them. I had to call the school principal, pay her fees while on the road to enable her go back to school. When I asked her to go back to school, she said she could not use the same route because she had been chased by an unknown person on the way. This compelled me to give my vehicle to take her to school as I waited. That tells you that without the NG-CDF, a big number of children will not be able to access free, compulsory and basic education. If we cannot even support students, including the ones seated in the galleries, they cannot get quality, free and compulsory basic education. In addition, whereas, the Senate wants to have some oversight funds, there is need for Members to be supported through the oversight Funds so that they can be able to move around The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
