    "content": "We are dealing with a very serious matter. I want to give an example of my granddaughters. For the last two months, I have been sitting with them in the House. There is an element of depression that our children are getting into and nobody understands it. The way the Cabinet Secretary is behaving, he is treating us like his patients. As my brother, Hon. Junet said, this Minister does not seem to have a clue on how he should treat parents and teachers. He thinks we are patients. As to whether he was appointed by the President, there is no doubt about it. Everybody knows he was appointed. However, the man must perform his tasks. We need a way forward. How are we going to interact once the COVID-19 pandemic experience is over? How will we have social distancing in classes? It really annoys us as parents to see that children from public schools like Karen Primary School and another one in Bomachoge in Kisii County, I can give the school like Kenyenye Primary School, will never have equitable share of resources. They will never be the same. Therefore, we cannot say that our education system is equitable. We need this Minister to come up with a committee that is representative of all Kenyans to tell us the way forward for our children. Otherwise, by merely summoning him here, and maybe he even snubs us, will never help. That is why we need a parliamentary system of Government. Let ministers sit here and we can tell them off."
