    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to start with the proposed amendments. The first proposed amendment was on definition. The first amendment to Section 2 was to insert the words “other than an institution established under any other law and which is not expressly subjected to this Act” immediately after the word “institution” appearing in the definition of the expression “public institution”. The spirit of the deletion that was proposed in the amendment was to… For lack of any other example, I want to read the definition that was given for “private institution”. It means an institution which is not a public institution. If I can take the Members back to when we were doing the admissions for the public and private universities, KUCCPS was able to do both. Once we make this deletion, it means institutions - and for lack of any other example KMTC - will be independent and KUCCPS will have no right to place students. I want to mention to this House that such institutions are built and funded by Government. Hence, they are public and not private institutions. It is good for this House to note that the students who are going under the TVET also have access to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). Currently, we have funded that institution with Kshs900 million of Government money where students are able to access HELB loans. I want to move to the second amendment."
