    "content": "34 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in relation to “(6)”, again, I think when we say “not more than” then it means that we are giving discretion where somebody can be fined even Kshs200,000 and yet, you have exploited millions; and these are profit-making institutions. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in relation to “(7)”, I know that many of us are very hesitant whenever we want to introduce the concept of due diligence on the Government, because there are certain acts that are the authority of the Government. It is a principle that was established in the Inter-American Court, in the case of Velasquez Rodriguez. I will be happy to let it go, because then we can still argue it in court. But I think that when the Government fails in its due, it should not be the burden of the taxpayer. It should be the responsibility of the Government to protect its citizens and not vice-versa. But I am happy to let it go because we can argue some of them in court. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT Clause 27 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (2)- (3) Any foreign university approved under sub clause (2) must first submit proof of accreditation from its country of origin to undertake university education in Kenya. (4) a new sub-clause (4) be inserted with a further amendment replacing the words “Cabinet Secretary” with the word “Commission”;"
