    "content": "On the issue of selecting the bands, I fear introduction of some parameters because they are not going to work. There are primary school teachers in the villages, whose salary on paper is probably, Ksh23,000 or so, but they are saddled by loans. God has given them enough strength in their loins because they have many children and, obviously, their expenses are spread thin. If I were the Government, I would treat 190,000 students the same - regardless of one’s social and economic background - instead of giving them scholarships and loans based on need assessment. Honestly speaking, when we went to university during our time, it did not matter where you came from. When you applied for HELB, you had committed yourself to pay because it was a loan. If the Government wants to re-introduce free education, because education is an equaliser, let us use this opportunity to equalise Kenyan students. Introducing so many bureaucracies may not help."
