    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having campuses or institutions that you are collaborating with does not in itself mean that you have a college. A college is like when you talk about Egerton University with the Kisii University College. These are university colleges. Colleges or high schools with which universities are affiliating are many. I agree with the hon. June 28, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2125 Member. I have a long list for Moi University which shows that there are eight middle level colleges and six campuses that are offering university programmes with them. Egerton University has three affiliate colleges. I will table the list which is quite long. Loreto Convent, Msongari, is affiliated to Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. This list is available. Universities have opened up departments in institutions with whom they collaborate and offer university programmes. It is true that there are questions about the extent to which you can be sure about the quality of those institutions. We hope that once the Senate has approved them, and it has done everything possible to see that the institutions have, at least, the minimum facilities to offer a particular course, they should ensure that those students do their final programmes with the universities. So, it is true that there are many affiliate campuses and we are also concerned. That is why we are saying that, from now on, the Commission for Higher Education should be the one to determine not only whether or not a campus should be started, but also whether universities should just go ahead and open some programmes with any institution they like."
