    "content": "our mothers sitting on the ground, sitting on the soil, on the grass, waiting for a politician to finish their speech, so that they can be given Kshs2,000 to go pay school fees. We need to restore the dignity of our parents; our mothers and fathers, so that we do not have to make them sit on the ground for them to get these Kshs2,000 that they need to take their kids to school. That money should be sent to school so that education in secondary schools is free. We need to restore the dignity. The way we do not give politicians money for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) or for the Social Health Authority (SHA), such that anybody who is having a cold here, anybody who has a broken leg, does not say, “I have money from the national Government to get treated.” They just go to the hospital, get treated, and the Government pays for that. That is what we are supposed to do with education; go to school and study, and the Government will pay. I do not understand why the Government gives you money to go pay the Government. This is the reason why I brought this Motion. Why does the Government give you money to go pay the Government? It is like I own a posho mill, I have unga everyday in my posho mill and instead of giving you unga, I give you money to come and buy from my posho mill. I give you Kshs50 and I tell you; “come and buy from my posho mill, rather than just giving you"
