    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you, Cabinet Secretary for coming to answer these questions. Hon. Speaker, my supplementary question is on Question No.58(c) that the Senator of Nairobi had started to understand the Government’s strategy on generally addressing the issues and the challenges currently affecting public universities, particularly by perennial strikes by academic staff. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, is there a specific remedy or a variety of remedies that you have put in place to deal with the disadvantage that students get with these strikes, particularly where sometimes they are not concerned? A particular case is the rampant cases of late or delayed schooling. For instance, when there is a delayed element or changes in calendars, where you find that a student who is supposed to even graduate in a year's time ends up graduating in two years or three years. This is becoming a very serious issue in public universities that I think that it needs to be dealt with, once and for all. Are there specific remedies that the ministry is putting in place to make sure that those disadvantaged students are also catered for in the middle of these perennial strikes?"
