    "content": "to, they can go further and insure that money. I am sure when he uses his common sense as his school taught him, he will be able to expand the scope of the HELB as this Motion requests. I would also like to congratulate the Government for coming up with the HELB in the first place and coming up with an Act because that Act that supports HELB is very open. What this Motion is asking for is within that Act. So, we are not asking them to amend the Act in any way but just to implement it to the full, which means that the Government had the foresight when they set up the Board in the first place. I think it is imperative that we ensure that all children born in this country are sure of an education and this is one of the ways of doing it. Let us ensure that the bursaries are given on academic merit but every child should have access to HELB loans once they finish Form IV and want to go on with their education. I am sure those who are in polytechnics or aspire to join medical training colleges (MTCs), technical training colleges (TTCs), the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) and all those institutions this Motion, when taken seriously by the Government and implemented, they understand the benefits that they are to draw. Finally, while I praise the good work of the Ministry and HELB, I call upon us, not just as the House but as a nation, to start thinking forward and think out of the box; not just thinking and planning but we should start implementing our plans. It is important that we implement our plans. The HELB Act was a plan but has not been fully implemented. We should start implementing our plans! With those few remarks, I beg to move."
