    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the Petition by the three students, it is a very sad affair. I was actually trying to see if the Chairperson of the Committee is here because it is important that the Committee incorporates the comments we make when these institutions appear before them. I think it is high time we looked at the universities and even if there is an Act that we need to bring into force or make an amendment to, ensure that no course shall be offered in our universities that is not accredited by the various institutions like the Engineers Board and the Medical Laboratory Board. I remember there were students who took a medical laboratory degree course at the university and for a long time, they went through an uphill task. There might be many other courses, as Hon. Nyamai puts it, that are being offered there and they are not accredited. I think when the House passes the law on issues of making sure that professional organisations are accredited by their various bodies, it is also the onus of these bodies to make sure that they supervise those institutions and make sure that they are offering both quality and what meets the standards of the various institutions. This is a matter that the Committee should look at urgently because time is of essence so that we can resolve it."
