• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: proposal, but when we found out that we were sailing on the same boat, we came together to amend this Bill. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: One important amendment to this Bill is the representation by the students. For a long time, the decision to award the students the loans has sorely been on the Board, which has never had membership from the students. Our Constitution has anchored the issue of inclusivity in everything. I wish to support hon. Kang’ata on the inclusion of students in determining how the loans are awarded, more so the question of students in public universities. We have always thought of students who are in regular programmes in public universities. We should also think of the students who are studying in ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I did my Bachelors Degree when I was a little bit old. Unfortunately, I sat with students who were even 16 years old in the university. Nobody questioned their legitimacy in that class. This country should allow bright students to move to the levels that they want to move without hindrance from anybody. Based on the contract law, whoever is supposed to acquire a loan must be an adult. These are students who have parents and guardians. In our law, we should have a situation where a student who is below 18 years can sign a contract and be allowed ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We also have another issue on transition. By enacting this particular amendment, we will assure several students who want to have an express transition from secondary school to universities. In most countries, especially developed countries, there is no student who has sat Form Four examinations and failed to access university education. It is only in Africa where a total of 400,000 students sit for KCSE examination and only 100,000 acquire university education. The 300,000 are lost in the society and they become criminals. There should be a situation where we allow express transition from secondary school to university education. We ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the question of equal opportunities. When you look at the way loans are disbursed, most of the students who are studying in private universities or who are on parallel programmes are not allowed to access loans. We should allow students who are on regular and parallel programmes to access loan equally. No one is more equal than the other. We should allow students to access loans based on the fact that they are in university. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: In the process, we are also looking at an amendment where even students who go to international universities and who attend universities in England, the United States of America, India and even Tanzania will be able to access these loans because they are Kenyans. These are people who went to study there and they will come back and help build this country. We should not deny them the opportunity of acquiring loans because they are studying in other universities which are not in this country. We are yet to bring that particular amendment so that we can allow students who ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: My third point is on the question of recovery of these loans. The Mover of this particular Bill stated clearly that several penalties are actually meted out to the students before they even get employed. The reason as to why we actually give these students loans is to enable them complete education. However, we also believe that they will refund the money when they get employed. We cannot start trying to force these students to repay the loans before they get employed. We need to allow them to get employed. view
