    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I sincerely thank the Mover of this Motion for bringing it up for debate. This Motion is very important because education, as far as I am concerned, is the key for any development activity which we may have as a nation. The parents have sacrificed so much to educate their children to go through secondary education. The start of the parallel degree programme at the university was a very noble idea. It helped many students who were deserving and could not get space at the university. It saved the Government of Kenya a lot of foreign exchange. Money which would have gone to other countries is now in this country. So, parents have sacrificed a lot. The challenge here is, what is happening at the moment with this programme? I propose that if the reason is to raise funds, let the parallel degree students pay their fees even for a course like medicine and then they are put together with the regular students. If the idea is to raise funds, then they should not have their own classes. This will ensure that high standards are met and there is no discrimination."
