Accreditation should be done intellectually. For instance, if a course is offered, let it have the desired qualifications such as medicine or veterinary. There is a time game rangers could do what medical doctors do. Qualifications should be on merit. We need to ensure that universities are accredited for purposes of ensuring that courses are market-driven. Apart from being market-driven, there is need for a review, so that even things we desire in our children from an early age through secondary school all the way to the university are enshrined in the courses. I thank Sen. Nyamunga for coming up with a Motion on the elderly. When we want inculcate national ethos in our children, it has to start from universities and colleges. There is need to have a unit on that, so that by the time the children exit from university to the world of work, they have the ethos that we want as a nation. As I support this Statement, when it goes to the relevant committee, which is the Committee on Education where I sit, I hope we will do justice---"}
