    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to contribute to the Petition that has been brought by Mr. Patrick Kaberia regarding the proposal to amend the Universities Act to include the important role of the alumni. Our universities are in a terminal crisis, particularly the public universities. As he has rightful said, they are facing a serious problem of funding, and are under-performing. There is need to inject new ideas and funding to keep them going. I, therefore, think that it is important for the universities around the world to benefit from their alumni. My former university constantly writes to me demanding for support and funding, which I am happy to give because of the contribution they have made to my education, and life. I have no doubt that a university like The University of Nairobi, which is one of the biggest and the most successful in Eastern Africa, can benefit from its alumni; and can get enormous contributions in terms of funding as well as ideas which other universities have benefited from by having alumni students. His ideas, in my view, are constructive and should be welcomed and, specifically, his Petition be considered seriously by the relevant Committee where it would be forwarded to."
