    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not agree that we have poorly qualified people in the management of these funds. They do not have enough funds to manage and hence, the poor management. Tripling this fund may not even be enough. I may not agree with Mr. Chanzu that the average amount of money paid by a student is between Kshs170,000 to Kshs200,000. Indeed, medical students pay up to Kshs800,000 per year. So, the scope which this fund has to cover should actually be wider than the originator of this Motion envisaged and hence, I think that this is the minimum that should be considered. We should consider tripling this fund. Decentralization of the fund is important in view of the new Constitution and the decentralization of most of the funds to the county level. We should have equitable distribution of these funds. I would be very interested to see the records kept on who has benefitted from this fund. If that was to be tabled in this House, we could see how skewed this fund has actually been distributed to marginalize certain areas on purpose, either by design or whatever. You will be surprised at how this has been done. But anyway, we cannot really cry much about that. Let us solve and correct the situation as very well put by Mr. Mungatana."
