    "content": "(Hon. (Ms.) Shebesh): Members, I get where the Vice-Chairman is coming from. I can quickly read the original Bill from the Senate. “Clause 48 (1) A public education centre shall not charge or cause any parent or guardian to pay tuition for or on behalf of any people in the education center. (2) Not withstanding subsection (1), a public education center- (a) may charge tuition fees for the education of children who are not citizens of Kenya. (b) may with approval of the county executive committee member and in consultation with the County Education Board and the respective Parents Teachers Association (PTA) impose such other charges as it may consider necessary for the management of the education centre.” As a Committee, you suggest this amendment as follows: “Clause 48 (2A) A head teacher of a public education center who— (a) imposes a charge without the approval of the county executive member in consultation with the County Education Board and the respective Parents Teachers Association as specified under subsection 2(b) commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or both.” So, this is deterrent and is different from the original. So, you have provided for a deterrent measure and have not clearly said that there should be no fees charged. It is just a deterrent. Take the microphone. We know you are on record because you are the Vice-Chairman."
