    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The minimum qualifications for admission to KMTC courses are as follows:- Certificate courses - KSCE C minus; Diploma courses - KSCE C (plain). In addition, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, different courses may require minimum grades in relevant subjects. The KMTC also has a district-based quota system in place for nursing and clinical medicine courses. Selection for other courses is done on merit, because the intakes are small. With the approval of the Academic Board, the KMTC further implements affirmative action for colleges located in rural settings, where up to 70 per cent of the students may be admitted from the local communities. (b) The money collected from all the applicants is used to meet the cost of processing applications such as hiring temporary human resources, acquisition of additional working materials, computerisation and postage. The charge of Kshs1,000 is modest for that purpose, when it is compared to Kshs2,000 or Kshs3,000 charged by other training institutions. (c) It is not possible for the Government to refund the money that is collected from unsuccessful applicants because it is fully used to process applications, up to the dispatch of admission letters. Thank you."
