    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this deletion. As we canvassed on this issue, Hon. Dalmas Otieno and I opposed it. That is because if you got a mean grade of C+ (plus) and, therefore, never attained the university admission cut-off point for the regular programme but you are rich, you cannot say that the only students who should get the HELB Fund are those who are Government sponsored. That is very discriminatory. The HELB Fund cannot be compelled to give loans to certain individuals and leave out others. We are all Kenyans. It is only fair that, that role is not legislated on but rather, is left to be dealt with administratively so that, everybody who applies can have a fair chance. In fact, many students who have enrolled in the Module II programmes come from a similar background as the regular students. The only difference is that the Module II students qualified to go to the university, but never got the cut-off points. They deserve HELB Fund backing more because the burden of paying school fees is very high. I rise to support."
