    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to start by saying that I do not support this Bill. The reasons I will not even support it is because, from our forefathers, this nation was built through harambee. There are three very important harambees that people conduct in this country. One is fundraising for school fees. Even now, after the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) is in place, it cannot provide school fees or bursaries for each and every child, especially those who are coming from very poor backgrounds. That is a harambee that I will always go and give. That is why I have to say no to this Bill. Unless the government makes education free from Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) to university, then I can say ‘yes’ to such a Bill as long as school fees is being paid. Students are already complaining about the model of educating the students in universities. Some of them cannot even afford to pay for the hostels because the fees are very high. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
