"content": "schools, sometimes we even write letters to head teachers telling them that we are going to give the needy students bursaries but you find them still sending students home. In the areas I represent, some parents are working in coffee farms, some in tea plantations while some are jobless. So, head teachers sit down with parents and agree on funds that the students are supposed to pay but then parents are unable to raise the fees. I live in Juja and when I go around seeing students with uniform going home because the head teachers are not listening to the members of Parliament, it hurts. It is a very good Petition. It is us who are doing that. It is the Jubilee Government doing that. We are trying to make education in primary schools free. We also promise the country that in 2017 we are going to make secondary schools affordable and even free. This is because education is a basic right to any student in this country. It is not that the children from the rich community or rich people will have access to education but even the poor."
