    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are several questions in one. But just for the information of the House, ordinarily, KMTC collects between Kshs15 million and Kshs18 million every year for the student intake. The amount of Kshs1,000 that is supposed to be paid by the students--- Not all the applicants who send their applications are able to pay that money. That is the reason. Some of the applicants come from very far-off areas. Our requirement is that they must pay directly into the institutions' bank accounts. Some of those places do not have banks. So, 60 per cent of the applicants whom we process their applications and admit do not even pay the Kshs1,000. Already, the Kshs1,000 that we are charging is subsidised. So, I was begging the understanding of this House that, in fact, the money that we collect is not even enough. Therefore, we cannot actually refund because, by the time we have processed those admissions, we have utilised all the money. To add more, unlike universities where their intake is from Form VI and others, our intake point is at KCSE level. We process about 40,000 applications. We have to hire new human resources and computers. It is a whole process and so, it is not possible for us to refund. As for the numbers of those who have been admitted this year, that is public knowledge. We always print all the names of the successful applicants admitted to various courses. I believe we do not have to always carry the numbers. If you had wanted, I would have given you. It was not in the Question. But it is all over in the papers. Thank you."
