    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the Chairman answering that question and also listening to Sen. Musila reacting to it and talking about contradictions, it is quite obvious, there are contradictions. However, I think the Chairman has said what he had to say on that issue and the question I would like to raise is this: Since there is that contradiction in the law and it appears that it is mandatory that the principals of secondary schools must release certificates to the students and the other law says that the principal can be surcharged for not collecting fees and dues, because this is Government money, does the Chairman not think it is time that the two laws were harmonized? Even the principal himself or herself has to be indemnified or kept harmless from that contradiction so that when he releases those certificates to the District Education Officer or the students, he is held harmless and should not be surcharged. We must think about it from both sides because even the principal has a job to protect or to do. On the other hand, I would like to ask the Chairman whether it is possible to give statistics on a percentage basis. How much the holding of certificates enables the principals to collect the outstanding fees so that we can see how we can deal with the legal part of it."
