"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been following the debate. There is one component that has been ignored or you are not focusing on. Is the Cabinet Secretary comfortable with the new fee structures for universities? The fees of universities were raised to very enormous amounts from what people used to pay about Ksh16,000 in a year to Ksh600,000 for some courses. Are they comfortable with it? Who were the people in the taskforce that looked into the issue of fees? You may find that most of them are professors and vice-chancellors of universities who want to get more money. We must start to address the issue of school fees. Are we comfortable with it? On the same issue of school fees, if students get good grades and they are called to do medicine, then the percentage they are supposed to contribute is high. We are basically punishing those students who have done well. Some students may opt to do other courses which are not marketable and require lower grades because of the fees of the courses that they qualify for. This is a component you need to look at."
