    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Dr. Monda wanted to know the amount of funds disbursed by Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and the National Council for Science and Technology (NCST). He wanted to know the amount meant for each and every student. I want to state as follows: For HELB, 70 Masters students benefited. Each student got Kshs200,000 per scholarship. For Phd, 42 students were sponsored. Each student got Kshs450,000. This brings us to a total of Kshs158,900,000. The National Council for Science and Technology disbursed about KShs149 million. Masters students got Kshs200,000 each. Each of the Phd students got Kshs400,000. For Phd, this amount is meant for research component, but the rest of the expenses are catered for by the individual candidates. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member wanted to know the amount given to each and every students for those students in overseas countries who are sponsored by our friendly countries. For full sponsorship, every student is entitled to between Kshs300,000 and Kshs400,000 per year. For partial scholarships, every student is entitled between Kshs150,000 and Kshs200,000 per year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have answered the question according to what my good friend wanted to know."
