    "content": " Let me complete my contribution. We need to find a solution for universities. There is a problem in universities. Many of our children are not joining universities today because of the issues these regulations were trying to address. One of our roles as Members of Parliament is that of legislation. Instead of waiting for subsidiary legislation, I urge the Chairperson and his Vice-Chairperson, who have spoken on the Motion, to take up their legislative role and give us a clear direction. That is our role. If the Cabinet Secretary fails to legislate, it is not him who has failed; it is Parliament that has failed. Parliament would have failed in its role if our children continued to suffer because of lack of proper legislation or regulations. We should not depend on Cabinet Secretaries to make laws. That is not their mandate. While the Committee has recommended the annulment of the regulations, I ask Hon. Melly and Hon. Malulu Injendi to take up their legislative role and solve the problems in the university sector."
