    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is good that you have given me the chance before the Cabinet Secretary responds because it is related to the questions that have been raised by the Members. Cabinet Secretary, all the Ministry’s directives to schools are disregarded. I am particularly concerned because in my constituency, for every ten births that are recorded in hospitals, six of them are children under the age of 18 years. This is caused by children being sent home and spending most of their time at home because they have not paid for the school feeding programme and yet, some of them have their homes next to the schools. They can walk home, eat and go back, but they are forced to pay the money. You have to pay even if your home is next to the school. When children are sent home for fees, they spend most of their time at home and we should, therefore, expect many young mothers - which is a concern to us. The Ministry has to do something. When you give directives, you must have a system of compliance to ensure that the schools and the teachers comply so that we can have our children stay and study in school."
