    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended by:- (i) Deleting the proposed sub-section (1A); and (ii) Deleting the proposed sub-section 15 (1B). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the purpose being that under the current legal arrangement, loanees are required to repay their loans within one year after completing their studies, or within a period the board may deem appropriate to recall the loan with a repayment period. This repayment period is spread over a maximum period of 12 months or 48 months, depending on the circumstances. The current Act provides for what the Member was trying to gerrymander. After one year, if you get a job, you will repay within the instalments. If you do not find a job, the moment they find you either in the public or private sector, they will start their deductions. When I completed university many years ago, I did not join the public service and so, I did not bother to pay. The day I came to this House in 2008, my first payslip was slashed Kshs120,000. I was shocked. I asked the Clerk what had happened and I was told I did not pay my HELB loan. The President is saying that arrangement on how payment will be done is already found within the existing legal framework."
