    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the standardized rate is Kshs18,625. However, there are variations depending on what each school considers for maintaining the students within the schools. For a school to vary the fees, it must be allowed by the District Education Board (DEB). Usually, it is the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) and Boards of Governors (BOGs) that comes with additional levies. The PTA usually meets and decides on what additional money should be levied, so as to take care of the cost of running that school. Once they agree on it, they cannot levy until that information is discussed in the District Education Board in which all these Members sit. Members of Parliament sit in the Boards of Governors (BOGs) because they are ex-officio members. So, whenever there is any variation in fees in any school, hon. Members are aware. Any variation is discussed in the DEB and it is the DEB that gives the go ahead. The Ministry gives a go ahead to school to vary fees based on the minutes of the DEB."
