    "content": "(b) By inserting the following new sub-clause- (2) A university, college or campus that was operational at the commencement of this Act shall be deemed to have Letters of Interim Authority until after an evaluation under this Act. What the amendment seeks to do is basically to enhance the standards that I am suggesting. If you look at Clause 72 it talks of a campus, college or university existing before the commencment of this Act shall be deemed to have been established under the provisions of this Act. What I am saying is that we delete the words “deemed to have been established” and replace with “shall apply for accreditation within three months of the enactment of the Act” so that they are re-accredited after inspection so that we ensure that they comply with the standards that are set by the law. Also, we are providing a new sub-clause (2) which indicates that any university college or campus that was operational shall be deemed to have Letters of Interim Authority until after an evaluation under the Act. So, what I am saying in essence is that the colleges and constituent colleges shall be deemed to have Letters of Interim Authority until they are evaluated to see whether they fit within the standards. The reason I am saying this is that I have given the Minister very clear examples of colleges that do not meet the standards that we have now set and passed by this law. For us to say that they have letters, really, is, therefore,"
