    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to answer. (a) The university management has not initiated a move to abolish the School of Environmental Studies in Moi University. The school has not been abolished. It has been relocated to Chepkoilel University College based on the implementation of the Moi University Strategic Plan, 2005- 2015 which was conceived when Chepkoilel University College was still a campus of Moi University. It is also indicated in the Strategic Plan 2009-2015. (b) It is not true that the staff and students have been forced to move to Chepkoilel University College. As stated above, the decision to move the school was fully participatory. The view of the university is that a school is not only made up of faculties but also includes staff and students and it was, therefore, in order for staff and students to move to Chepkoilel as agreed by all stakeholders. (c) I also wish to confirm that Legal Notice No.125 of 2010 which established Chepkoilel University College does not provide for the transfer of the School of Environmental Studies to the College. The mandate to transfer the School of Environmental Studies and any other school for that matter is provided for in the university statutes and the Strategic Plan. In the year 2009 when the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology proposed to upgrade Chepkoilel University College to a constituent college of Moi University, a proposal was made and approved by the Council for the School to form part of the proposed Chepkoilel University College. This included the School of Environmental Studies as part of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences as per the earlier Strategic Plans of 2005-2015 and the 2009-2015. The Minister is, therefore, unable to rescind the decision of the university council."
