    "content": "It is against this background that I seek for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: 1. To clarify whether KMTC students currently placed in KMTC campuses by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) are entitled to the financial assistance that is provided by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) that is available to all students that are pursuing higher education in Kenya. 2. Indicate whether KMTC students are eligible for student loans that are offered under the purview of the Ministry of Education and, if so, when will they receive financial assistance, including student loans under the new funding model that is being introduced by the Ministry of Education. 3. State whether the Ministry of Education continues to allow the Ministry of Health through KMTC to collaborate with the Higher Education Loans Board in disbursing student loans to medical training colleges as practised previously. 4. Explain the actions that are being taken by the Ministry of Education to ensure that KMTC students have access to financial assistance, thereby promoting equity and inclusivity in higher education financing that is comparable to that of other students across the country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you allow, my Vice-Chairperson would also like to comment on it."
