    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The administrative unit given consideration by the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) during admission is the district of origin, and not the constituency which is an electoral unit. Admissions for 2010 courses were finalized in June 2010. Since the results of the 2009 population census had not been released, the college worked with the 76 districts that had been in existence as at the 1999 population census. (b) Mosop Constituency falls under Nandi District. Out of the total of 18,344 applicants, 328 were from Nandi District where Mosop falls. The number of trainees from Nandi admitted per year in the last three years is as follows:- 2008 - 83 students; 2009 - 74 students; 2010 - 74 students; (c) Due to increased demand for training opportunities at KMTC the college has embarked on an expansion programme as demonstrated by the measures below. (i) an expansion policy is already in place; (ii) more academic programmes are being introduced in the existing schools; in this regard, admission in the year 2010 increased by more than 600 students. (iii) expansion of existing facilities in some schools is in progress."
