    "content": "On the issue of the appeals tribunal, I feel that we have too many tribunals and councils. An appeal tribunal can be set up ad hoc and on a part-time basis. However, if you start setting up an appeals tribunal the next thing people will be asking for is payment. We are not able to do that currently. This is not a money Bill, but it appears it could be if the tribunal is set up in such a way that at a later stage payment is demanded. Our education system was great but has been failing because of impunity. Despite what we say, nothing happens on the ground. The latest CS has gone to the ground and people are now paying for their misdeeds. As I speak now, a number of children from Nyatege Primary School in my constituency have been sent home for lack of examination fees. So, teachers become like kings and demi-gods and these are the sort of things that we need to look at. I was hoping that in this Bill, we would provide for disciplinary action against the teachers and officials who mislead our children. All our children need is education. With those few remarks, I support."
