    "content": "First of all, as the Chair of the Committee on Equal Opportunity, I want to say that this Motion is completely in line with the way we want this country to be moved in the years ahead. I want to request the Government to provide more funding to the universities, so that many Kenyan youth who are able to pursue education realise their dreams. Particularly, I want to use this opportunity to thank Moi University. Moi University is first among equals. It is a university in this country which has decided to think outside the box. For the first time, they give very limited chances to people from the so called arid and semi arid areas in this country. Quite a number of young people from this region who could never have seen the inside of a university are now able to pursue this dream, courtesy of the progressive thinking of this one university in this country. Funding must go to this kind of universities which want to imagine that this country can progress when all Kenyan population is given equal access and opportunity to education. HELB must also fast-track the recovery of the loans already given to students who are beneficiaries. The system is such that students who acquire these facilities find jobs, but some of them do not have the courtesy to repay back these loans. Therefore, I would like to request HELB to see whether they can fast-track the recovery of the loans. Finally, they should decentralise their operation in all the parts of the country, so that young people are able to access universities right from the villages."
