Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to add my voice to those who are supporting this Bill. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this Bill at this particular time because it is happening at a time when our country is going through serious insecurity problems. My attention has been drawn to the fact our country has signed the protocol in respect to the Bill in Ottawa. I am aware that Kenya is very poor at signing treaties which it does not respect in the end. I would ...

Thank you, hon Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am opposed to this Bill by my good friend not for personal reasons but I believe that we are going to precipitate the intention of Kenyans wanting free things a bit too far. The Government has demonstrated by action that it is unable to finance many facilities that are very necessary and we must be prepared. Soon we will even try to bring a Motion to the House to abolish dowry payment, which is bad.

There is no way we can expect students to go to school up to Standard Eight and expect them to sit examinations without paying for it. It is not necessary more so at times when the Government, by word, has demonstrated that it is able to sustain free education. When you go to the schools, several levies are done through the backdoor and the parents have had to contend with the heavy levies that are not made public.

The schools where these students sit for their exams, where the Government is supposed to pay school fees on their behalf or instruct the KNEC to ensure the examination levies are not accepted, are reeling under financial difficulties such that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

every other day, as leaders, we have been approached to organise Harambees to augment Government efforts to provide physical structures for the schools. Every other time, more so after the KCPE, we are told that the intake has been increased so that a school that had a capacity for 40 students accommodates 90 students.

The same officers who are increasing the intake have not made any arrangements for infrastructural development. I wonder where the money is going to come from. By extension, this will lower the quality of education because we will have substandard facilities in schools. Therefore, the examinations will be a formality. Examination fraud will be common since it will be happening every day and everywhere. We would not like to do such a thing. The charges that we have been paying to KNEC for schools have been good enough. They are a bit considerate. At least, we should have parents paying ...
