    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion by adding my voice to all what my other colleagues have said. I believe they have said what I wanted to say. The Motion before us is clearly talking about the concerns of Kenyans. The concern is whether the parallel programmes are sacrificing the regular programmes. I believe that the Ministry, once and for all, should answer this question. This is because in all universities, parallel programmes are generating a lot of money for the lecturers and the universities themselves more than the regular programmes. I am wondering whether this is the reason why the regular programmes in universities seems to have dwindled or the numbers drastically reduced. I believe that those who qualified for the regular programme and are not taken on board are the same students who pay for these parallel programmes. We have a new Constitution that guarantees us our rights. It is fundamental rights of all young people to pursue university education. How can we explain a situation where one student is admitted to university while another one who is more qualified is denied the chance to pursue his dream? This is a total discrimination. So, the Government needs to look at this issue in line with the Bill of Rights. We should stop infringing on the rights of the young people in this country."
