I thank Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget and appreciate the proposal to delete the allocation on leasing of medical equipment. I am meant to understand that on Saturday, Members of the Committee on Health visited Kitui County to apprise themselves on the status of the equipment. I am yet to see their report, but I must say without blinking an eye that the leasing of medical equipment is fraud on the people of this country.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Government introduced this policy, there was an announcement that education in secondary schools would be tuition fee free. Students are not supposed to pay the money for tuition. The reality on the ground is very different because disbursement to schools for the 100 per cent transition has been very slow and painful.

There was also an announcement that for those admitted to TVETS and Teachers Training Colleges (TTCs); students would also be given access to Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans. How much money has been availed to students in TVETs and TTCs from the HELB?

This policy of transition would be a good policy because it will boost enrolment, retention and completion at primary level and reduce wastage. However, if not properly managed, it will lead to a crisis at secondary school level.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point of order raised by Sen. Were was not disputing the name of the University of Nairobi. The question was; is Sen. Malalah in order to say that there are only two “serious” universities in this country?
