For instance, if you are in Band One, this is your amount for the loan and household. If you are in Band Two, this is the amount you are going… I spent the whole of Sunday explaining to parents because they do not know the letter they have is the one that was sent early, which only indicates the cost of the course. But the letter now says that if you want Government help, apply through this. With all these details and the deadline as it is, give parents simple information. For instance, in Band One, you are supposed to pay a certain amount. That is what they want. Further details will require more communication. Secondly, extend the application period. You can get things going while you are getting more details that will work later on. Parents are going all over the place, racing and trying to raise Ksh500,000 for a medicine course. Give simple information on what to do. It can just be one advert on a page. For example, show the amounts that students in Band One and Band Two are supposed to get. Also show the percentage. You should put that system in a way that it can be accessed by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. I have tried to listen to Professor, but even with my understanding of models, loan arrangements and bursaries, I am more confused. When you finally give the direction, it calls for more communication to reach the students of this country. We will not limit it to newspapers alone. There are other communication channels on the part of the Government that should be used, so that all the students who want to do various courses can get the information. For example, in that kind of communication, I want a student going to study either a Bachelor of Arts, information technology or medicine to know the fee structure, the amount of loan and bursary that will be given to him and the balance. Such communication will really help us reach out to our people and explain this model. My colleagues have said that it is beautiful, but it is clouded in some form of misinformation and technicalities."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In your area of mastery, there is a book called, An Enemy of the People . A brilliant man, Dr Stockmann, has a good idea, but the local man does not know. He loses everything. We are dealing with a situation where the Ministry has information, seems to have a procedure, but the people do not know. I rushed in specifically for this matter. You can save this country and the education of the students who are going to university by helping the House resolve and make a ruling to extend the deadline. That will really help as the new Cabinet Secretary, whom we can now invite, writes a proper memo that will indicate the fee structures. I do not want to repeat what the other Members have said. What came out has already discouraged some learners from going to university. Secondly, you can make a ruling that all students who are supposed to go to university should go. When we were in such a situation last time, that was the resolve that was done and it saved the situation. The rest of those issues will be done when they are already there. This will enable the Ministry to have time to explain all these processes. When it is explained here, it looks very good. However, it is not communicated out there and it is not working. Parliament should help the entire education system now. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

This requires a different approach. Hon. Melly, I will give you time until tomorrow to come and inform the House at 2.30 p.m. on: 1. Whether there is a possibility of extending time beyond 15th August which is the day after tomorrow. 2. Whether you can employ a better mechanism of communicating with the students, including but not limited to, having education officers who are deployed up to sub- county levels to be the centres of communication and filling of the forms by the students with their guidance.

"content": "3. You can also find out from the Ministry if they can delegate admitting universities as agents for assisting the students when they go to the university to fill the forms, so that no student loses out because of either inadequate or poor communication, or miscommunication. From what Hon. (Prof) Bartoo has read to the House, the Statement begs more questions than answers. As the Chairman of the Committee, I advise and direct you to go to the Ministry this afternoon. I will give you an opportunity tomorrow at 2.30 p.m. to make a proper communication. I am sure concerns are the same. Let the Chairman go and get information and then he will give it to the House. I have listened to Hon. Naisula who is the questioner, Hon. (Dr) Nyikal, Hon. Justice Kemei, Hon. Omboko Milemba, Hon. (Dr) Mutunga, Hon. (Dr) Nyamai and Hon. Owen, and their concern is simple. It is a good idea with inadequate and poor communication. It is a good idea without clear implementation process. That is how I understand this issue. If we agree with that, let us not belabour the point. Those with issues, I will give you time to raise them tomorrow. We are already getting to 5.00 p.m. Yes, Hon. Kamket."
