    "content": " That is actually my challenge. How will you classify a person as vulnerable, needy and extremely needy? If you look at the number of people who are living below the poverty line in this country, almost 60 per cent are extremely needy. What we are basically saying is almost 70 per cent will qualify for full funding. Are we being realistic about this? We are going to knock some students off university education because of this new funding model. The other thing is that we are going to push it to Members of Parliament. You should see in our inboxes already. I am sure you are already facing it. People are putting us in WhatsApp groups to collect funds for school fees and we cannot afford it. Mothers are panicking. There is a woman called Lindsay, who keeps on calling me from Mbita Town every day. She calls me every day because she cannot afford fees for her child, and she is not the only one. There is one from Ogando, and others. I can count many of them. We are putting the country in a crisis. I thank Hon. Geoffrey for raising this matter at this time. We need to deal with it as a crisis. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
