Sometimes inefficiency has little do with computerisation. Even highly computerised systems have been known to be inefficient with respect to certain aspects of their performance. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have some information on what is happening in universities. For example, Kenyatta University has already obtained funding from the Rockefeller Foundation to expand their computerisation programme, which will include human resources, procurement, inventory and registration. Egerton University has already advertised for hardware and software to enhance computerisation. So, they are already taking steps. Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology is in the process of intranet implementation and so on. The University of Nairobi, in addition to the ICT strategic plan, is already focusing on implementing the latest technological advancements in the area of computerisation. Moi University implemented local and wide area networks, that is, LAN and WAN, and is re-equipping student's computer laboratories and departmental offices.
