    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to congratulate the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, Hon. Julius Melly. The real problem in Moi University that is also affecting other universities, requires immediate attention. I also want to call out the National Treasury. I am aware it is preparing a supplementary budget. I plead with this House to consider Moi University. It should be given priority and adequate resources. The Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry took over Rivatex after Moi University had injected a colossal amount of money. There were no discussions as to how that money would be refunded by the Ministry. I want to agree with Hon. Wamboka that this is a governance issue. I wish Hon. Melly can clarify the terms of reference for the caretaker committee. All of us, including the staff of Moi University, would like to know what they bring on board so as to sort out the issues affecting this university. When the Departmental Committee on Education and Research visits Moi University, even before they enter the boardroom, I want them to tour the university and its environs, including the students living quarters. They are in a deplorable condition. None of the students would want to go there because of the bad situation they are in. As we look at the salaries, let us also look at the operations so that we can save the university. Lastly, this goes to the people who committed theft in this university like those who participated in constructing a gate which looks like a scarecrow. I want to ask the Committee 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."
