    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the amount that the Government is providing to universities is not enough to educate as many students as we would like. Parallel or Module II courses are an income generation project for universities, as they are faced with a situation where the Government cannot put in all the money; universities have to find a way of being innovative and raise extra income to be able to support their own lecturers and students. It is as we have two systems in our universities. We have a private and a public university in one. In countries where the private system is developed like South Korea, you will find that 80 per cent of the university students are in private universities. This is not the case in Kenya as I am going to show later on. It is a challenge also and we think that we are blocking out some students. It is important to appreciate universities themselves trying to raise some income that will support some of programmes in view of the fact that the Government is not able to put in all the money that universities require."
