    "content": "Under the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), I can confirm that most of the applications that we receive for bursary, particularly in the marginalized areas of this country, are for middle colleges. Now that people in the North Eastern Province, Eastern Province, parts of Maasailand and other pastoralist areas have realized the importance of education, many children are now going to school; some are going to the universities. However, many of them do not meet the cut-off points which have been set by the universities, they go to middle level colleges and, therefore, they apply for loans. This has become a very big burden for the CDF because we have also to take care of secondary education. So, I would say that this Motion is very timely and the Government has not objection in supporting. I, therefore, wish to emphasize that we support it."
