    "content": "themselves, there is no way it can continue to exist. Maybe, the cost of those Module II programmes should be increased. It is high time we allocated more money to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). This is not only happening in Kakamega. We have experienced the same in Kitale. It is true that when a university is established in an area, the economic activities and the Gross Domestic Product go up because there are extracurricular activities. That is because those students have to eat and get accommodation. You cannot force a university to be there if it has not broken even. It is the responsibility of local leadership to invest and sponsor more students to those campuses for purposes of breaking even. We should understand the logic that, that is a business venture and not a humanitarian activity. There was a Motion that was passed in the Senate and sponsored by Hon. Khalwale, that with devolution, we must have a university in every county. We know how much a university contributes to the economy of an area. It is like an industry and the local leadership must look for ways of sustaining them. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
