    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, the Assistant Minister assured this House that they are aware of the striking lecturers and that they were taking steps to dialogue with them. He also confirmed to this House that the Ministry was actually encouraging dialogue and that they had 3198 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 26, 2006 commenced on the dialogue. He also assured the House that nobody will be fired. Those were his own words. Could the Assistant Minister clarify why the Ministry has contradicted itself by allowing some of the lecturers to be fired? Could he also confirm that the lecturers will be reinstated immediately? Could he also confirm that the Ministry will genuinely engage in dialogue with a view to arriving at an amicable solution? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a sad affair that as I was coming from Ndhiwa, I met several students from the University of Nairobi and they confirmed to me that they are not learning because of the strike. Could the Assistant Minister, together with the acting Minister tell this House why they are contradicting their statement? They should reinstate those people immediately! Pumbavu! Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
