    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to that of the Senators who have contributed to this amendment. First, I thank Sen. Musila for bringing this amendment to this House. It is a matter that affects most people. Representation is one of our roles. We represent the people who cannot pay school fees for their children. One reason these certificates are being withheld is because of school fees balances. These two are not related in any way because during the days when examination fees were being paid, I thought it was paid for the certificates. Therefore, there is no reason the certificates should be withheld because of fees arrears. These students should be given their certificates because this is not related to school fees. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are aware that very many parents are going through many problems. It is not news to us. There are single mothers, poor people and maybe sometimes a parent cannot pay school fees because of a climate change related problem. It could be a produce marketing problem. Therefore, it is not reasonable for a student to be denied his or her certificate. A certificate is a resource, not only to the owner, but to the whole family. It is a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
