    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. They are; Dr. Bonny Khalwale who seconded, Mr. Ababu Namwamba, Mr. Njuguna, Prof. Kamar, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, Mr. Kathuri, Mrs. Shabesh, Mr. Kizito, Mr. Shakeel, Mr. Kaino, Mr. Oyongo Nyamweya, Mr. Langat and the Assistant Minister who has made his remarks. When we talk about balancing which has been explained a lot here, it is not saying that--- The issues Members were raising here earlier, when they wanted to make an amendment, they were even coming to the stage of wanting to scrap it. That is not the idea because if you look at the last statement here, it says:- “in order to ensure equity and accord more students an opportunity to pursue education at that level, while providing the institutions with sustainable sources of income” That is the real issue. So, what we are trying to urge the Government to do is look into this because we really have to move forward. We cannot keep waiting. This is a concept that came not because of one issue. You remember we had the issue of strikes here when there was the double intake. There were students who could not go anywhere. I am sure the problem is still there. That is the reason why some students opt for this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to say that I have my own daughter. I was listening to Members here but I think lack of information also contributes to this. However, you end up getting the information in a forum like this. My daughter sat her examination at Precious Blood, Riruta and got grade B+ (plus), but she was so much in hurry because she thought I would pay. She forced me into this parallel thing. She has been able to move. She has gone to the United Kingdom (UK), University of Kingston. She has done her Masters degree and now she is looking for a scholarship to do a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). So there is that which I think the public must know. I just wanted to appeal that---"
