    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this very important amendment by the Hon. Member for Kiharu. From the outset, I want to pay glowing tribute to the initiators of this fund which has helped very many of us to go through university education during our times. If you recall, from the mid-90s backwards, the money that we received for accommodation, tuition and a little other money that we always put in our pockets for other uses, was very dear to us and that is what made us go to school. For some of us, we used some of that money to help our other siblings. I would like it to be noted that we are supposed to be giving this fund to the very needy students who are taking higher education. We want to encourage HELB to find a better way or criterion to identify the very needy students to access these funds. What is now happening in this country is that whenever there is a fund to help people, be they students or other people, everybody else would like to access it even when they are able to pay. This is why this fund has always experienced cash flow problems. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
