    "content": "Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support this particular amendment. You saw university students appear before the Committee during public participation. I see the Hon. Ariko, who is a Member of the Committee, remembers. One of the challenges that have been with our students in urban centres is lack of proper housing in our universities and in our TVET institutions. This creates a forum for our universities, TVETs and college students to access institutional housing being built purposely for students. Two, our police force has suffered immensely since the change in government policy on housing when they started giving our police officers Housing Allowance. And they are given a housing allowance of between Ksh5,000 to Ksh9,000 depending on the rank. Well, you are serving in a town where on average rental houses go for between Ksh20,000 and Ksh30,000. Now, with institutional housing, the Government can now do institutional housing for police officers, teachers, and medical care staff around hospitals. They will afford since this is now affordable housing being done under this fund. I strongly support and thank the Chairpersons of the Finance and Housing Committees for having taken into consideration many of the proposals that came through public participation."
