"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not a requirement that would-be beneficiaries provide copies of their identity cards. Therefore, that information is not available at my Ministry. The information that is available is the one that I have provided to the House. However, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that, indeed, issues of fairness and equity will, in the future, inform the distribution of the scholarships, including the issue of gender balance. If you look critically at the list that I have provided, you will see that 40 per cent of the beneficiaries are women. We will progressively enhance that position so that we can reach a position where 50 per cent or more will go to women. When you look at the list that I have provided in terms of districts, there is some measure of equity. It may not necessarily be per constituency. However, when you look at the list that I have given to the hon. Member, we have a beneficiary from Bondo, Kisii Central, Imenti, Nzaui, Thika, Nyandarua, Nandi, Koibatek, Butula, Emuhaya, Kisii, Machakos, and Kilifi, amongst others. There is a fair representation of the regions of our country. But I want to confirm again that, in future, we will be much more meticulous in the way we handle the distribution."
