    "content": "The current Budget provides money for recruitment of teachers, putting the students under a capitation programme and access the HELB. As a country, we need to have more of those students. We have over 500,000 students who cannot go to universities. They are in our constituencies. The only way we can do is to make sure they access HELB loans. Under the current system, as Members will note, it is even more expensive for a student to go to TVET than to go to the University of Nairobi because the ones in the university access capitation and HELB. We are now bringing those programmes to cover students admitted in TVET institutions. That is why I thank the Chair who has allocated the money from other areas. We are stakeholders. We spend a lot of money of NG-CDF every year on the TVETs. There are 15 new TVETs to be constructed this year. I am sure the Departmental Committee on Education and Research chaired by Hon. Melly will make sure the 15 TVETs to be constructed are spread wide in the 290 constituencies where MPs are ready to chip in Kshs10 million from NG-CDF."
