    "content": "Schools and institutions have been receiving hundreds and thousands of students during the last five years due to the 100 per cent transition. The 100 per cent transition has stretched our institutions beyond limit. You will see that if you travel across the country today. I was in one of the top girls’ schools in my county over the weekend. The Principal and everybody else was saying they have converted libraries, labs and every other open space into dormitories. They have done that so as to enable the Government to hold onto the 100 per cent transition. It means that the issue we have at Mukumu Girls High School and other institutions is just a tip of the iceberg. We have a serious problem and the Government needs to wake up. It needs to fund those schools or we agree that we cannot take in more students. It is for the sake of their health and lives. We should not cram students in schools to the extent of those schools becoming time bombs. If you go to an institution where a dining hall is supposed to hold 500 boys or girls but the school presently hosts, say, 1,600 students, you will wonder how they eat. What kind of cooking facilities are used in such an environment?"
