    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much hon. Wangwe, for your effort and initiative. I support the Bill strongly because it makes sense. With the free education policy in place, we should do away with paying of examination fees because it would not make sense. For example, somebody gets free primary education from Standard One to Standard Eight, only for them to fail to sit for examination because they cannot afford the examination fees. We shall not have assisted such a person very much. Examination fees are, by no measure, not small. They range from Kshs4,000 upwards. For the ordinary rural person, this is not little money. We, as leaders, have come across many cases of desperate mothers running around, trying to look for examination fees, which have a deadline. If they do not pay the monies within a certain deadline, their children are not registered for examinations. This has also been one of the reasons for school dropouts. Abolishing examination fee is a move in the right direction."
