"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members. It is true that KMTC students are students like any other in the country. I agree that HELB, as an institution that funds students, should be able to fund all of them. In my view, there is an issue of misalignment with the domiciling of KMTC under certain terms in the Ministry of Health that leads to that discrepancy. We will work with the Ministry of Health to align that aspect so that we can give HELB the resources to support the KMTC students. The key issue is alignment in terms of funding the students in KMTC because we have already aligned the issue relating to placement. KUCCPS now places all the students. So, we should extend that alignment further to ensure that funding is also covered under HELB, thus allowing our students at KMTC to be funded. Thank you."

The best answer the CS can give to this House is how soon that undertaking can be fulfilled. We need timelines so that this matter can be dispensed with."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is not only the Kenya Medical Technical College (KMTC) students who are suffering. Students who join universities are supported by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). What about other middle-level college students who are not being supported by HELB? They also need to be assisted. If this is not done, it will be discrimination. As the Cabinet Secretary ensures that KMTC students receive HELB support, could he confirm that student teachers in colleges will also be supported? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
