    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to join the rest of the Members in arguing that we annul these regulations in totality. Let me thank the Committee in charge for being hawk-eyed on irregularities and illegalities in decision-making, particularly when the law is involved. It is very disturbing! As much as we would like to defend the position of Cabinet Secretaries and the Government, there are some obvious things we cannot do as a House. We cannot have a situation where one Arm of the Government is not respecting the other Arm in making decisions. The Kenya National Qualifications Authority is an established institution under the law. Therefore, when the Ministry ignores their input when making regulations, it leaves much to be desired. This Authority has the capacity to advise and consult when it comes to regulations on how best to run universities. Therefore, it is imperative that the Cabinet Secretary reverts to his desk and starts making proper decisions. Any action with an element of cost to the community must be taken very seriously. We have students, parents and guardians, and when we make a regulation that imposes costs on those people, it is very bad and should not be allowed to happen. This animal called public participation is in the Constitution. I wonder what special preference the Ministry has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
