    "content": "I am with you on that one, and I would be on top of it. On the question of the feeding programme, lunch fees are unauthorised levies. In fact, the policy that we have in the Ministry is that children should be allowed to carry lunch to school or go back home and have lunch. If they do not want to eat in school, no parent should be forced to pay. It is illegal for anybody to force them to pay or to send them home for not paying. I indicated earlier when I came that we have taken the bold decision that going forward, we will convert some of those violations and acts of disobedience into criminal acts. If you are caught doing something, you will be punished. You will not just be transferred to another school because you might go and engage in another illegality there. You need to be punished. We will ensure that you never work in the education sector again. We will have a register of wrongdoers, which we will check, similar to when one gets a certificate of compliance so that we can clean up that sector. We are willing to bite the bullet and make the decisions that need to be made so that we do what is right for our children. Thank you."
