    "content": "Placement is simply part of admission. You cannot say you have been admitted unless you have done placement. So, placement is part of the admission process, and the functions are under the KMTC Act. It belongs to the KMTC Board. The Cabinet Secretaries will be coming to do nothing. We do not need them to interpret for us the law, which is very clear. If anybody out there is uncomfortable with the law as it is, he can go to court and challenge it or bring a proposal so we can make these amendments. This kind of conduct is unacceptable, and we cannot allow it to happen. As representatives of the people, we cannot allow blatant violations of the law as we watch. What interest does somebody have in these admissions that he has circumvented and bent the law in broad daylight? So, the Chairperson must come out clearly and get away from the notion that placement is separate from admission. As we speak, KUCCPS has no role, however remote, in the placement and admission of KMTC students unless the law is amended. No form of MoU can superintend over the law. We need to make a clear ruling. We cannot allow the idea of asking for time for Cabinet Secretaries to come here to explain the matter. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I urge you to crack the whip and direct the Chairperson to tell KUCCUPS to keep its hands off this admission process. Just declare that here and now. Thank you."
