    "content": "We have Directors of Education and Directors of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in our sub-counties performing duplicate roles. The Ministry of Education should cater for Directors of Education at the sub-counties without asking heads of schools for the little capitation that they receive. Those Directors of Education demand for money for all activities that the Ministry is supposed to cater for, which is very unfair. You will find kids being sent home to collect some levies which are not within the Basic Education Act, which provides that basic education should be free. We have problems because the Government cannot meet the obligation of free basic education. We have created parallel bodies which lead to duplication of work. They should be looked into so that at least children can have a free atmosphere of learning. If a principal in a secondary school sends a student home, as a Member of Parliament, you can call them to request them to hold the student at school awaiting bursary disbursement."
