    "content": "Romanus Odhiambo, who was the Chairman of the taskforce. He is the Vice-Chancellor of Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST). He is not a consultant from outside. He is part and parcel of our universities. Most of the people that were on the taskforce are also part and parcel of our universities, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), FCPA Charles Ringera, Mr Monari, who is here and a host of others. Therefore, it is not true that this team went into the Means Testing Instrument (MTI) and interfered with it, because the credentials are with HELB. You can review it but you cannot attempt to tamper with it. We cannot verify that information. I believe that the committee that has now been set up by the President will get into the system, review it and find out whether there is any form of interference, if it is working, and whether the variables are enough to give out results that, as I have said, are as close as possible to your reality. If, for example, I input my data and it says I am a boda boda rider, then there is a problem. But if it says I am a judge, that is as close as possible because I have been a lawyer. When we review the system, are we putting the people as close as possible to their professions? That is why when Hon. Rindikiri says his constituents are in bands three and four, yet he comes from a constituency that requires affirmative action, we need to check and find out whether that is true. We will give you that information once we have that analysis."
