    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me put it this way: My understanding is that if you give the council the power to discipline and all this, it does not mean that the council will always be sitting there to do discipline. What it, therefore, means is that the council will be responsible for these procedures. I want to give you an example and I am sure many of us have passed through public universities. For example, in the University of Nairobi (UoN), the discipline of staff is the function of the council, but the DVC A&F, disciplined staff on daily basis but the council has a responsibility. Therefore, you can give these functions to a council and the council will delegate the procedures - the day to day running of all that to the DG or any other body. So, I do not see any conflict. By giving it to the council, you are just saying that responsibility is given to a higher authority, so that you do not allow a single individual to be deciding on disciplinary matters."
