    "content": "very important document. It is the only document that will enable anybody, anywhere to have an opportunity to be employed or show that one has gone to a particular level of education. There is no way one can explain himself or herself without a certificate. It is a very important document. I support Sen. Musila and urge my fellow Senators to support this amendment. Sen. Musila has mentioned the issue of a tribunal. It could be for the purpose of investigation; whether a parent is too poor to pay school fees. Again, a school must run. We know the problems that head teachers are facing with the school fees balances. It is the only way to run an institution, but it should be investigated because there will be no point to withhold a certificate that may not be collected due to fees arrears, forever. It will not help anybody; neither the candidate nor the institution. Therefore, it will be wrong for school fees not to be paid, but it will also be wrong for the head teachers to withhold the certificates. So, two wrongs will not make a right. In that case, I support the amendment that has been brought by Sen. Musila. If there is a day that I feel we are here to represent and exhibit our role of representation, it is today that we are speaking on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to support."
