    "content": "I am very categorical when it comes to illegal levies. We have given a directive as a Ministry and Government that the Government covers tuition. It is enshrined in Article 53 of the Constitution of this country. We give a total of Ksh1,420 to primary schools and no school or principal should charge pupils. Members of Parliament, kindly give me the information. I have already taken action in a number of schools. We had cases in Kilifi County recently. I think we also had cases in other counties where we are taking disciplinary action against the concerned. Once this information is made available to us - that there is a school charging Ksh1,500 - we will move in immediately and take action. We are even facilitating our deputy county directors of education so that they can monitor and go to each school. They take required action in case there is such an illegality."
