    "content": "Hon. Speaker, maybe I can tie your question to the issue that you raised, that we hurriedly prepared the Bill. Let me clear the air. The Bills that we have prepared arose out of the recommendation of the working party prior to the meeting of 20th of August. Those Bills are not dealing with amalgamations of the bursaries or all the scholarships that we have. We have not reached that position and we have not had that conversation. In fact, perhaps, what needs to happen is this: if that conversation is going to be heard, it will include whatever changes that were coming out of the recommendations of the working parties. We have not done any of those Bills. These are the ones that have been done before the conversation relating to amalgamation came to the fore. That is why we are saying that we had even done public participation in March, 2024, which was long before we met. Therefore, as a Ministry, we have not come up with a policy, an Act or Statute to deal with amalgamation of bursaries or anything. This is a deep conversation that we have got to have and then we will see how it develops."
