    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the intention, but the Government also comprises of Parliamentarians who have to push that agenda. This affects all of us as Members of Parliament because we have young people outside the country from our constituencies. So, it is up to us to lobby for more money from Treasury to ensure that we have enough. Let us also not forget that even the students we have locally are too many and we cannot support all of them. Going to China, United States of America (USA) or Australia is by choice. Given the many universities that we have locally and which are cheaper, we would like to encourage many of our students to join local universities. We have universities all over the place; we have technical institutes in every county and there are possibilities of studying here, thus minimizing the cost and making it possible for us, together with other supporters like the CDF, parents, development partners, banks and other financial institutions, to be able to get the money required to support all the students. We would like to help them but our first responsibility as a Government is to support students who are in universities because they have been selected thought the Government system. If one goes elsewhere by choice--- Sometimes it is more expensive. If there is any extra money, we will also look at these students because they are Kenyans."
