"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, at Independence, we did not have a university of our own. We had a technical college. In 1972, University College of Nairobi was upgraded to a fully fledged university. That served us up to 1981 when Moi University was established. Thereafter we had Kenyatta and Egerton universities. Since then the number of universities in the country has increased. We now even have private universities. This is a very noble idea because it is assisting our students to access university education instead of going to overseas universities. We all know that many of students who join local universities come from poor families. Students run all over the place looking for Members of Parliament to assist them to pay fees. This is a very big burden to us. The Government should consider this Motion and if possible, triple the amount allocated for this purpose. In the current Budget, the Ministry of Education was allocated Kshs128.6 billion for Recurrent Expenditure and Kshs7 billion for Development Expenditure. To me, this is pathetic. The Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology was allocated Kshs7 billion for Development Expenditure and Kshs26 billion for Recurrent Expenditure."
