    "content": "of Education, where the owners of private universities in this country have pocketed senior officials. This should be said in broad daylight because the senior government officials who were pocketed, and private university owners, are known. That was not a good way of doing business using public money. You establish a private university and go to a government entity to get public money for your private business. This cannot be allowed to continue in our nation. If you do business using public money, your profits should also be remitted to the public. This has not happened; we condemn it in the strongest terms possible. Those in the Ministry of Education who have run down our higher education system should be called to appear before this Committee to explain why serious action should not be taken against them. The chairperson of the Committee should go further and recommend, with clarity, a meeting with the people engaged in these kinds of activities. Our public universities are going down because we cannot finance them. Moi University, Egerton University, the University of Nairobi and many other public universities have been affected, yet we have money to channel to institutions owned by private people. This is a disgrace which should be condemned. The CEOs of our public entities should ensure that they add value to public money used in all industries and ensure that the common man benefits from government activities. I know that the Kenya Kwanza Government is not in the business of protecting anybody who is not toeing the line or failing to do justice to the public."
