    "content": "Sometime back we were faced with the issue of Al Shabaab and many teachers left Wajir and other counties in the former North Eastern Province. Where are we taking the young boys and girls? Are we encouraging them to join Al Shabaab ? When you threaten our graduates that you will splash their photos in the newspapers and everywhere, you are telling them that they have graduated and refused to repay their loans. How will they feel? Where will they go? Are we encouraging our youth to become gangsters or Al Shabaab ? This is a very wrong concept and whatever the Government of Kenya does, I know that the issue of loans and all the payments all over the world is a problem, especially when it comes to education. In the United States of America (USA) these problems are there, but nobody threatens them. There are billions and trillions of dollars owed by graduates in form of loans, and they are not threatened. However, in Kenya, we are threatening our students for not repaying their loans. This is a wrong concept and it should not be allowed. I am following the footsteps of the Members who have spoken before me and urge the Government to forgive these students. They cannot afford to repay those loans."
