"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to begin by saying that I was once a university student. During the last UASU strike, I was then a students leader. We joined the lecturers in their struggle and hoped that this was going to come to an end. It is unfortunate that this is happening again. However, I watched my former lecturer, Dr. Muga K'Olale, who taught me philosophy and in whose class I realised that I had a political mind and interest, demanding for a rise in his salary. I also watched my former Economics lecturer, who taught me econometric, Mr. Kinyanjui, who is now a UASU leader, also demanding for a salary increment. I really hope that somebody will sit down and dialogue with Dr. Muga K'Olale, Mr. Kinyanjui and the other lecturers because I think they have a point. We have to listen to them. The 600 per cent increment that they are asking for is high, but we can reach a compromise."
