    "content": "Head teachers and school committees who are charging too much are keeping so many deserving Kenyan children from going to secondary schools. Public secondary schools do not belong to head teachers or to the boards of management; rather they are public assets. They belong to all the children of Kenya. They are denying them a chance to go to secondary schools by setting up very high fees. We must take that as an issue that is a responsibility for the Ministry of Education to follow through. The Ministry of Education has its own existing circulars. I find it very problematic that circulars that have been issued by the Cabinet Secretary for Education in the last two years have not been enforced. When this issue first became a national cry a few months ago in the previous year, we were talking about schools that were charging between Kshs90,000 and Kshs100,000. Today, when Members speak, they will quote schools that are charging Kshs120,000. We are the only country in the world where public secondary school education costs twice as much as university education."
