    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a financial question. I have just said that we are applying for more money. The cost of living has gone up. My electricity and water bills have gone up. It is the same for universities. Therefore, if they are asking for more money, it is simply for the purposes of meeting their costs. We, in the Ministry, have submitted a request to the Treasury to give us four times the amount of money that has been given in the past. However, what you ask for and what you get is usually dependent on what the Treasury can afford, and also how much more we want to tax ourselves. If we get more, we will give more. We do not wish to give just a few students all the money and reduce the number of people who get it. So, basically, maybe, we will spread it out a bit, so that everybody feels the pinch rather than take care of just a few students and leave out the other students who are either parallel or outside Kenyan public universities. As you know, in this year, we have already spread it out. We have included students in private universities within our country, who until this year, had been excluded."
