    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, already the Government is allocating resources for infrastructure development. All the new constituent colleges and universities receive an amount of money ranging from Kshs200 million to Kshs500 million every year. With regard to research, money has been put aside by the National Council for Science and Technology to the tune of Kshs500 million which is available to all researchers in universities. The amount of Kshs500 million is not a lot, but it is a beginning. There never used to be such a fund before. We are also encouraging universities as always, because they are the best placed institutions, to mobilize research resources and university researchers. So, we also encourage them, especially because it is also a requirement for research and publication. Therefore, we have put some money aside as we do that, but we will continue to negotiate with the Treasury and the Prime Minister’s Office to ensure that we get to this because this might be the ultimate solution to the serious problems afflicting our universities in the area of infrastructure development and research."
