    "content": "As we all know, education is a basic need for this country. It empowers our citizens, who in turn develop the ability to participate in national development. The increase in school fees for the different categories of secondary schools in the country has attracted a public outcry from parents and guardians as well as orphans, who have been left with no option but to drop out of school. The trend will increase poverty in the country, if it is not checked. In the Statement the Chairperson should inquire into and report on:- (i) the legal and policy guidelines on school fees for secondary schools in Kenya, indicating the specific amounts of school fees chargeable by national schools, county schools and other public secondary schools; (ii) disciplinary measures taken against principals, head teachers and boards of management that have increased school fees, contrary to the existing policy; and, (iii) the existing discrepancies in fees charged by different public schools in Kenya, with special reference to national schools. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
