"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose the proposed amendment for four reasons. One, the members proposed to be on the board--- Some of them represent the Government and this is normal in every board that you find. There is the principal secretary, the Ministry of Education, representing the Ministry. That is normal in all the boards. Again, the Principal Secretary, will represent the Minister for the time being responsible for finance; it is normal if you look at the boards that this Parliament has approved. The Attorney- General is the head of the legal education in Kenya. Again, that has been the practice from time immemorial, and even during colonial times. The secretary to the Commission for Higher Education is one of the new organizations, and already they are well represented. We have a representative from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) appointed by the council. He is already there, and so other persons appointed by the Cabinet who teach law at the university. So the universities are already provided for. Why do we need to bring public and private universities to be represented? First of all, there is no union; there is no association of public universities. There is no union or association of private universities. So, how are they going to do all these?"
