    "content": "by parents, particularly in form of fees, let part of the CDF money be used. We should decide how much of the money should go to schools because schools must have used money from somewhere. They must have either borrowed loans from banks or from parents so that we waive and issue certificates urgently. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am aware that there are some schools which even after Form Four, a student will not have a problem because they have committees. For example, Alliance Boys, Alliance Girls, Mang’u, Kenya High and Loreto High Schools, have a system where as soon as you finish Form Four, they know how much money parents would have paid. They have a way of trying to help those who cannot afford to pay. Parents in these schools help one another. If the Government understands such a policy, then part of the money allocated to the CDF kitty can be spend on paying school fees. Life would be better for both the parents and the students. The blame should not go to parents for having not paid. The head teachers are expected by the Ministry to collect fees. If they fail, they can be surcharged or penalised. Therefore, head teachers collect because it is an offence not to. They also commit another offence if they release a certificate yet they have been trying to help the child get to Form Four. There should be a compromise so that we all understand the situation and get the position that the head teachers, students and parents have. Part of the money allocated for development can be given to waive the certificate issues. Once this is implemented, there will be no problem of certificate issuance. I support."
