    "content": "My questions were very simple. The Ministry declared that they wanted to open schools. What I wanted is the return to school plan. For example, in my constituency, three children still sit on one desk. How will they observe social distancing? That is a budgetary issue. What the Ministry is telling us here is that they continue to engage and yet they pronounced themselves very clearly. These are very difficult times for our children. I asked: What plans in terms of counselling and emotional support will the children get when they return to school? The answer we get is that there are no plans because of budgetary constraints. They do not even know there is a COVID-19 Fund that they can ask for. Several schools are being used for fumigation and sanitation. So, what are the plans? We are liaising with the Ministry of Health. When I look at these responses coming from a Cabinet Secretary, it is disheartening. I want your guidance and I think you have given. We have to be in that meeting tomorrow and interrogate because they are not prepared and they keep on making pronouncements. It is unacceptable."
