"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion as amended. I would also like to congratulate my colleague, hon. Gatobu for coming up with this brilliant idea. I realize that poor Kenyans are becoming poorer by the day. As much as we want to come up with this data bank, I would urge the Government to come up with good policies which will help in the alleviation of poverty. This will enable parents to take their children to school. As hon. Ochieng noted, we have bright students, but we also have others who have no opportunity to continue with school. I remember Dr. Carson the American neurosurgeon. He used to come last in his class, but he came to realize his potential letter. Today he is the best neurosurgeon we have in this world. Most of the students realize their potential late in life. If the Government can support all students from poor backgrounds we will be in a position to get the best quality in their lives. I also want to urge that these students be directly absorbed by the HELB so that we have at least 80 per cent admission from secondary schools to our universities and colleges. I realized that most of these students after they complete Form Four they start taking alcohol. You will find them loitering in the streets. If they can be transited to colleges and universities we will have a good population of young people. I support this Motion."
