    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, may I thank hon. Maina Kamau for giving me this chance. I just want to labour on two points and I will take one minute. First, I urge the Ministry of Education to make efforts to revitalize the intermediary colleges because every one of us cannot get into university. These should be spread all over the country to reduce the cost of transport and accommodation. If the colleges are started in the students’ backyards, they will gain from those facilities. Those intermediary colleges prepare individuals to do practical jobs. That is why most of the developing countries have had that kind of manpower. Secondly, I also urge the Government to build universities in regions like northern Kenya. Students who come to Nairobi from these regions spend a lot of money in transport and accommodation which should be spent on school fees. I urge the Government to take this seriously and build universities in northern Kenya, so that we can enjoy those facilities."
