    "content": "took care of the bills. What we paid was negligible. I appeal to Hon. Members to have tents set up for SHIF registration at all their events. Let us have SHIF registration taking place at our constituency offices so that our constituents can register and benefit from SHIF because this Fund will help them. I also commend the President on the achievements he enumerated within the education sector. I do not want to overemphasize on employment of teachers because colleagues have already talked about it. Through the new university funding model, we keep saying that there should be value for money. I have noticed that I had been giving bursaries to students who did not complete even a semester in campus. They either dropped out or deferred their studies to look for hustles to be able to continue. However, under the new university funding model, the Government pays 90 per cent of the school fees for the most vulnerable students in the society. Therefore, there is guaranteed completion and value for money. The little balances that remain unpaid can be cleared by the National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG- CDF). The Kenya Kwanza Administration has established the Open University of Kenya. You can now study and get your university degree in the comfort of your house. There is a lot on food security. The President decided to subsidize production as opposed to consumption. I want to disagree with my colleague, Hon. Makali, who said that the cost of living has come down because people do not have the purchasing power. No! It is because we have increased production. The Government provided subsidized fertilisers. In every homestead, you will now find food. That is what has brought down the cost of living, and more the cost of foodstuffs. I commend the President and urge him to continue implementing the Kenya Kwanza agenda for Kenyans to have a sustainable future."
