    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just saying that the Minister must be firm on how those scholarships are distributed, so that Kenyans from all parts of the country can have a possibility to acquire them and achieve their ambitions. The way it is now, if a scholarship comes through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the traffic is so long. Before it reaches the Ministry for Higher Education, Science and Technology, they might end up with very few slots which might not be sufficient. So, I think the Minister can even go to an extent of having to establish direct links with embassies here, so that they understand the number that is given to the country. If you leave it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I think it will not reach the desired target that the Minister and this country wishes to realize. On the issue of bursaries and the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), there is need to continue to encourage HELB to provide support to parallel degree programmes. That way, many Kenyans can get an opportunity to pursue education. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
