    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank hon. Kang’ata for donating a minute to me. First of all, I would like to congratulate the CEO of HELB, Mr. Ringera, who comes from my constituency and has done a very good job. Secondly, the loans should be discounted. The in duplum rule should be applied. Interest should not exceed the loan that has been taken by the students. Thirdly, we should not have biases towards students’ representatives in private or public universities. There are TVET institutions. We should even offer loans to middle level colleges to do diplomas and all that. We should even have funding increased to HELB. Fourthly, when they are not in a position to pay the loan, they should not be chased around. If somebody has not got the loan in first year, he should be considered in the second year. People who have applied in the first year should not be the only ones to be given loans. Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) as well should be assisting HELB. People who have defaulted because they do not have a job and have been listed 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."
