    "content": "the Ministry ensure that the policy does not exclude students of a particular religious or cultural background from seeking enrolment or continuing their enrolment in a school? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary has pronounced himself very well on the directives that have been given to schools. However, I want the Cabinet Secretary to tell this House what the Ministry is doing to see to it that the directives that it gives are complied with and when they are not complied with, what happens. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I ask that because I know the Cabinet Secretary does not have direct control on teachers. They are under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), which is autonomous. I am just wondering what the Cabinet Secretary would do if, for example, a particular principal of a particular school does not comply with the guidelines of the Ministry. We know that more often than not, these principals do not comply. We have had fees guidelines in this country for a long time. For example, a national school is not supposed to charge more than Kshs50,000. However, they end up charging even Kshs90,000. So, what does the Ministry do? Sen. Mariam Omar here is talking about schools that she knows are not complying with this order. All of us know, like I have said, schools that do not comply with the fees guidelines. How does the Ministry work with TSC to see to it that action is taken against those that do not comply? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rest my case this far before I come back if you allow me for other supplementary questions. I thank you."
