    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of cohesion in Government is a concern that needs to be addressed properly. There is no gain for Kenyans when we see Ministers quarreling with one another as to which Ministry is supposed to take this or that. That should not be seen to be happening in our Government. Regarding stability in our institutions of learning, it is notable that we have some people interfering with institutions of higher education in this country. When institutions are left to run on their own, we can see good results. Look at the University of Nairobi; for quite some time now, it has been stable, with the current Vice-Chancellor in that university. See the kind of political interference that has been generated at Kenyatta University. Kenyatta University has been running very well. It is a university that has twice come on top of old universities. Politics has now been introduced in the running of that university with a view to discrediting the female leader in that university. In fact, we should not allow politics to get into these institutions. The moment we allow penetration of politics into these institutions, the whole nation will be destroyed. We should create an enabling environment in all public universities. Regarding appointments, tribal inclinations should not be allowed in our public universities. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I would like to comment on the issue that has come up – that we need snap elections in this nation. What is urgent on the minds of Kenyans is putting food on the table and ensuring that there is security in the nation. We have placed an international appeal for food assistance. We do not have any budget for snap elections. In fact, we are causing unnecessary tensions in the nation. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
