    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a concern. According to Vision 2030, by now, we should be having equal opportunities in education for all children in Kenya. If any student goes to school, they should be assured that they will learn without being sent home for lack of fees. What is your plan in assuring that we do not have some students in Kenya who are always thrown out of class for lack of fees? Secondly, for us to have smooth education, what are your plans to ensure that teachers, headmasters or principals of the schools run their programmes smoothly? Most times, they have to wait for a very long time for their money! It takes Members of Parliament and teachers to make noise for any money to reach their banks! Lastly, if you go to some schools in this country, you will find learners sitting on the floor, stones or logs of trees. Where on earth, in this time and age, should we still observe that? I visited one school in my county and I was shocked that learners still go through that and yet, they sit for the same exams like any other privileged learners. Again, I am back on the equality question. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
