"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank my good friend, Hon. Irungu Kang’ata, for giving me one minute to make a contribution. This country will be on its way to attaining a middle class status the moment we make education affordable for all. Like the great nationalist Mandela once said, “Education is an equaliser”. We must make it available to all of us. Like I have stated here before, countries which want to live in luxury forever grow their people. The only way to grow our own people is to provide education for them. I want to thank Hon. Irungu Kang’ata for bringing this amendment forward. As I conclude, we will probably have to look within the regulations on the modalities for nominating the students’ representatives to the HELB, which is a very innovative idea, but which may bring problems considering that we now have nearly 30 public universities, each of which will be keen to have a nominee on this Board. Otherwise, I wish to support."
