    "content": "He had too many proposals on the things that were wrong with the regulations. In fact, we gave the Cabinet Secretary and he was shocked he had to request for an adjournment. Hon. Ruku was passionate about pointing out the inconsistencies in the regulations with the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013 and the Universities Act, 2012. I know a question has been asked as to what will happen to the digital universities that we approved here because part of it was anchored on these regulations. As you know, anything that has been made pursuant to these regulations cannot be null and void. Secondly, Section 70 of the Universities Act, 2012 gives the Cabinet Secretary powers to grant charters to universities. Digital university is part of the university although it is a digital university. It is operating in the cloud, but it is still a university in its form. Section 70 of the Universities Act, 2012 still preserves it. Thirdly, this House approved the Charter itself. When the House approved the Charter, it was in a form of regulations. There is nothing that is inconsistent with what we did. I would like to sincerely thank the Members of my Committee for the support they have given to the Committee in ensuring that these regulations are considered in a tenuous manner. It is, therefore, my pleasure and duty to present to the House the Committee's Report on the consideration of the University Regulation 2023, Legal Notice No.56 of 2023 that recommends that it be annulled in its entirety. I beg to move and I would like to call upon the former powerful Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Hon. Sunkuli, the Member of Parliament for Kilgoris, and a Member of this Committee, to second. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
