    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Looking at the Basic Education Act which he is referring to, it is a total failure. I used to be a BoM member in a school before I became a Member of Parliament and we used to charge Kshs11,000 for a whole year. The Government used to pay the same school Kshs12,000 per child as capitation for free day secondary education. The school is now charging Kshs21,000 because they have created extra charges. If you open this window, you are going to make ECD costly than before levying tuition fees. People are clever and they will create things and say, for example, the children need Nan and then they charge it more than food. The Vice-Chairman should just close the door and do not say anything like “with approval”. He should just say a head teacher of a public education centre who imposes a charge commits an offence and must go to jail or pay a fine. He should remove all those exceptions he is putting in between and increase the fine. That way, we will cure this once and for all. If we let that loophole into this Bill, it will fail the same way the Basic Education Act has failed. I oppose."
