    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to speak on this matter. The issue of Moi University is very simple. It is public knowledge that it took loans and invested in building a satellite university, which is now Eldoret University. Moi University also built Maseno University and Karatina University, among other universities. Moi University used its resources to build all those other universities. All those universities, which started as satellite campuses of Moi University, have since received charters and became independent universities. They have gone away with all the investment that Moi University had put in them. Moi University has been left broke, with huge loans to service. When those universities received their charters, they decided to hire their own human resources. They sent back all the employees who had been posted there by Moi University during their formative stages. Moi University is now left with a human resource glut. It also has debts that it is unable to pay. The only way to save Moi University is for the National Treasury to provide it with resources to enable it pay its debts and recover from its current financial crisis. Another challenge with Moi University is that it has a capacity of 14,000 students but, at the moment, under the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) programme, it gets only 5,000 students. The fees it generates from that small number of students is not enough to run the university or even break even. The university needs a minimum of 10,000 students to receive sufficient resources to run it. We need to just look at this matter pragmatically and decide that money has to be put into Moi University for it to get back to its feet again. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
