    "content": " Secondly, I must also go on record that before I came here, I was a staff member of “The University of Nairobi” as a lecturer. Hon. Speaker, the problem we are facing is not unique to “The University of Nairobi”. It seems to be a cross-cutting issue throughout the country and my feeling is that it is a governance issue. We might have to re-look at the Universities Act, and look at all other institutions that govern the universities because, honestly speaking, I really cannot understand why there should be wrangles between transition from one vice-chancellor to another. I do not understand why simple administrative issues about dealing with the staff should even become an issue that needs to be brought to the National Assembly. Hon. Speaker, I want to invite the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Education to, probably, during this long recess, ask the indulgence of the Speaker to allow one week to call the vice-chancellors, council chairs and some students, and just reflect. At the end of the day, we will be able to have a solution. Hon. Speaker, there is a Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms which has an extensive discourse on the issue of the university. Pick that report and let it be your sole responsibility, your new-year resolution that you must solve the issues bedevilling the university administration, governance and management issues before the end of the next calendar year. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
