    "content": "(vi). A number of universities such as Moi University accommodate all the regular students within the university. Others are constructing hostels for the female students. A case in point is Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology which is constructing a hostel to accommodate over 1,000 female students. Similarly, the Government, through HELB, continues to disburse loans and bursaries to students in the universities to cater for fees, accommodation and subsistence expenses for mainly disadvantaged students in our country. In order to increase the amount of funds available for the disbursement of those loans, HELB has stepped up its efforts to recover loans from past beneficiaries in order to increase the funds available to students. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the University Act No.42 enacted in 2012 proposes the establishment of a university funding board to undertake funding activities of universities. The board will raise funds from non-traditional sources through methods such as endowment fund, donation from partners, and grants from the Exchequer, among other sources. To address the matter further, the Ministry, in conjunction with universities and other institutions of higher learning, proposes to organize a forum to discuss the issue and come up with practical solutions to address it. Finally, the issue of prostitution requires a concerted effort involving many stakeholders, including law enforcing agencies to enforce the law and bring the culprits to book, as well as parents and guardians who are to guide and counsel the students in order to provide both material support and moral support for their children."
