    "content": "Therefore, we have Google scholars in this country. They only go to Google, look for information, copy paste here and there you know and it cannot pass plagiarism tests. This is because they only go to the internet. However, a proper library will actually help us get the right information in terms of literature review and all that and, therefore, help this country. This is so that our research in this country can be respected worldwide. You know you can produce a lot of research, but it cannot be respected because it cannot pass the test of plagiarism. This is because you only go to the internet and get information. However, a good library will ground our research and make it world known research. In addition, we can be able to publish in world renowned journals that will give our country... When they rank universities in this world, the only university that you will see in Kenya at probably number 800 is the University of Nairobi. The other young universities that we have in this country cannot get there. This is because they do not have libraries to ground their research. Somebody does literature review - I have seen this one because I used to supervise – but the literature review that you see with those students is the one that you see with 20 other students. They have only read one text. They have not read more than five, six or seven texts. Moreover, you will see that if you look at the list of bibliographies, you will see it is the same authors that they have all highlighted. That tells you that there is lack of adequate library materials. Therefore, even our universities need the help of the Kenya National Library Service to ensure that we have books and information that can help produce good quality research and publications and thesis that can not only be read here in Kenya but that, you can go to Europe and have somebody in Cambridge quoting or getting information from a thesis that has been published in Kenya. Therefore, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this law is good. We need to encourage it so that we can develop the education system. This country is implementing the CBC. The Competence Based Curriculum that does not have research repository will not help this country."
