"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I apologise for not having my card. I rise to support this Bill with two observations. One, the two students’ representatives are supposed to be appointed or elected. My thoughts are that they will be from among the students’ leaders elected by the students. Having been a student leader at the Kenyatta University, I want to imagine that this process needs to be guided so that it is not manipulated by the Vice-Chancellors. Most of the time, they would want to have their own puppets in this Board. A student representative needs to be qualified further. They also have their own association of students’ leaders. Maybe we can use that as an organ of election. We know very well that students’ elections can be acrimonious. The other thing that has been captured partly and needs to be enhanced by the Mover of the Bill is the issue of repayment. Sometimes back, being a young man, I repaid my loan but the penalties were so high. It did not matter whether you had given notice, if for example, at some point you may not have been formally engaged. This is a challenge of the young people. Sometimes when you have a contractual job and it comes to an end, 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."
