    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to comment on the two Statements that have been sought by our brother the Senator for Nandi County. I will start with this Statement that has been sought on the indefinite closure of Moi University. As the Standing Committee on Education looks at the particulars that have been raised by the Hon. Senator; if there is one part of what we as government, or we in leadership must really focus and put our energies on, is education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, education equalizes most of us and has brought us here. I am happy that this Statement has been sought by an alumnus of Moi University. I would be particularly interested in the particulars of what has been sought here. I do not know whether, this could also be extended to the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare because one of the issues that has been raised here - a very pertinent one - is the prolonged industrial strike by workers. I would really like to see how the Committee will deal with this one aspect of this Statement; the state of the amount of money received by the university from the government in the Financial Year 2024/2025, indicating the student enrollment at the university, and particularly under the new university funding framework. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Moi University is a big institution. The enrollment is actually very massive. I wonder, if a university that has such a huge enrollment is struggling in its running and it can be closed indefinitely because the workers are not there, what would become of the other smaller universities that do not have a big enrollment as Moi University? This is a matter that is pertinent. I am sure--- I would be happy to be informed by the Senator from Uasin Gishu County."
