    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the programme in respect of the Recurrent Estimates, Kshs22,530,102,734, be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure, Kshs22,030,102,734. I am proposing that because when we had no space in public universities, the Government asked private universities to admit students. They took in 16,000 students and the Government gave capitation of Kshs2 billion. Currently, the student population in private universities stands at 40,000. In respect of the increased population, the capitation for students is not enough. The capitation for technical education had been allocated Kshs5 billion. In this case, if we remove Kshs500 million, it will suffice technical education capitation and students in private universities will not be sent home when their counterparts in public universities have enough capitation. I ask that the amendment be accepted because students in private universities have a shortfall of Kshs1.5 billion. We now allocate them Kshs500 million."
