    "content": "Thirdly, procurement laws were not adhered to during the College’s Navision ERP upgrade project and, fourthly, 64 acres of beach land has been illegally allocated to private developers. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism to address on the following: (i) What is the rationale behind the illegal proposal to hive off Utalii Hotel from the Kenya Utalii College and making it an independent identity? (ii) Why did the college management sanction corporate piracy of its intellectual property rights by engaging Rwandan hospitality through GIZ to undertake curriculum consultancy for Rwanda Polytechnic? (iii) What is the current ownership status of the 64 acres of beach land given to the college? (iv) What is the administrative status of the Ronald Ngala Utalii College (RNUC), and was Kenya Utalii College compensated for the land surrendered to RNUC? (v) Explain whether procurement procedures were adhered to during the procurement of the College’s Navision ERP upgrade project, computers, server, Wi-Fi access points and board management System (e-Board), and if not, what action was taken? (vi) Explain why development expenditure was diverted into recurrent expenditure by the management without approval of the College Council and the National Treasury? (vii) Why did the management engage Lausanne Hospitality Consulting of Switzerland in Consulting Management Services without clearance from the Attorney-General and the National Treasury as required of international contracts? Hon. Speaker, the matters are weighty and I further seek your guidance on the best approach whether the Committee could work out towards getting a response or undertake an inquiry. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
