This is a Bill to create a tribunal that will try those who participated in the post-election violence. To me, Kenyans know what happened, why it happened and what they want. We all know what we want. We know what happened. We have been talking about ending impunity, which is true. People have been acting without the law taking its course. There has been injustice.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Question by the hon. Member for Saboti could not have come at a better time.

However, at the moment, it is purely to do with availability of funds. We used the finances we got at the beginning of this financial year to extend the loans to the Kenyan students here at home, who were either pursuing parallel programmes or those ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology gives bursaries to students in technical schools. I am not aware that someone has been discriminated against.
