    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this Motion, which is really timely and congratulate Mr. Chanzu for bringing it before this House. In 2003, if the allocation per student was Kshs10,265 and it is still the same today, and yet the inflation rate per year has gone up by 10 per cent, it means that the value of Kshs10,265 has gone down to almost Kshs2,500. This Kshs2,500 in real money terms is very little and cannot sustain these students. That is why it is very necessary and important to double this amount to Kshs20,000. I would like the Government to look at it in that form because education is very important. If students spend a lot of time at home because they cannot afford school fees, then we are losing on the quality of education that we ought to give our students."
