    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. You are right. Musa is the Kiswahili version of Moses. I support this Motion and thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for thinking this way. I have limited time and so, I will give a few points. I want to encourage Sen (Dr.) Ali that this Motion is good and has overwhelming support. We can join hands and draft an amendment to the Higher Education Loans Board Act so as to make what he is seeking in this Motion part of the law. The Government has repeatedly pronounced itself that it is committed to providing universal education to all Kenyans through bursaries, which are unconditional. If we give loans to a certain category of students, they must be interest-free. They should never attract interest in whatever circumstances under whatever situations. Therefore, those loans must be interest-free. When someone who was given a loan gets employment, they should pay it back because it is a revolving fund. Some of us have paid back the loans that educated us at the university, and have certificates of completion and clearance. However, you cannot obligate persons who are unemployed to pay loans, especially educational loans which were not business loans. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
