    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have talked about what the new law, which is a creation of this House, is doing. The old law did not envisage, in fact, inspecting public universities. If you look at the Commission for Higher Education, it was directing its efforts to inspecting private universities, actually creating charters for the same and issuing authority to operate. But over time, it has been realized that the public universities must be addressed in the same manner that the private universities have been done. So, the new law that is coming will be the only way that the Ministry would be enabled to do that. Creating a regulation on a law that does not even give you the leeway does not help. What I said was that in the old law that establishes our universities, you can only establish a university or a university college after inspection, and that was it. But the university campuses are actually within the powers of each and every council, and it will continue. But we are looking for a way in which we must inspect the same. So, the new law that is coming will enable the Commission of University Education to actually inspect these universities and satellite colleges. So, they must be approved before they set stage. This is because, as hon. Odhiambo has mentioned, the issue of having colleges or universities on top of bus stages is something that will be of the past immediately this law takes effect. This is because the Commission of University Education will inspect all of them. That is what we expect to take place immediately the law is passed."
