The notification also by the Board is of essence because most students apply for the loans but they do not get the information that they qualified or they did not. So, the essence of informing the students is one way of being accountable and enabling them to know whether they really got access to the loan.

The issue of unemployment in this country is high.Students finish universities and the essence of this law is to enable those who have not started earning any income to report to the Board by writing so that they cannot be penalised for delaying to repay the loan. Not every other university student who finishes the university gets employment or earns an income almost immediately. So, guaranteeing them to communicate back to the Board of their inability to repay is good.

There is need to increase the funding to HELB because the objective or essence of HELB is to help the needy students.We know that the kind of funding that they are receiving right now is not enough to facilitate all the students who desire to access this loan. So, there is urgent need to increase funding to HELB. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have listened to people saying that some counties have been paying their bursaries directly to the---

I was winding up. I was wondering whether it is really good for bursaries that counties are allocating to students to be brought back to the HELB to charge interest. I thought that we should be disbursing our bursaries in our respective places and allow students to access them free of charge rather than bringing it back to HELB and generate an income which we do not understand where it will go. I believe that we should not do that. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Before I contribute to this, allow me to thank the Almighty God for having given me the opportunity today, through the Public Accounts Committee, to serve as a Vice-Chairperson. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission as well as the Public Service Commission harmonise the salaries of staff. In this Authority, we need to have that objectivity, so that salaries can be harmonised with those of public officers.

His Excellency the President is a man who is very courageous, bold and decisive. He is also a listener. Out of his Speech, we could see him apologising to Kenyans for the atrocities that took place in this nation. That means the President has been listening to the cries of the people and he accepted to apologise on behalf of former presidents. I thank the President for the assurance that he has given us on the economic situation of our country. He said that our country is growing in the right direction, in a robust manner; and that we are ...
