"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us first appreciate the fact that you enroll for a parallel degree programme out of choice, and the assumption is that you can afford to go through the programme. However, we are now making provisions for students who are even in the parallel programmes to have access to university loans. So, they can also apply for university loans. From last year, it has been possible for them to apply as a way of helping them out. It is not a lot of money. It is Kshs60,000 per annum but that helps. For teachers who are working, it is a good relief given that they have some other income. However, let us appreciate that funds will continue to be limited even for regular students. However, where possible, we will open up ways to all students who are applying to join our universities. That is because some of the students under parallel degree programmes are quite poor."
