"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for allowing me to speak on this very important Motion. I appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with the Motion in the Senate. We talk about strikes when we have a case to push through with the Government. However, according to the whole scenario, this is instigated by the Vice Chancellors themselves. The money was approved by the Government. There were negotiations earlier by the Government for the money to be paid to the lecturers. Sometimes decisions can go haywire. Instead of the money going to salaries, it was used to do other things. This is a detriment. I was going to summon the Vice Chancellors here to tell us what is going on. This is an embarrassment to the Government. The Government has given out billions of shillings to be paid for a very good cause. It was meant for the lecturers who are teaching our children. The Vice Chancellors have connived to change the use of that money to something else. I am told that it is only Nairobi University which is operating. The rest have closed and we need to know why. If it is found out that the problem lies with the Vice Chancellors, then, they should be surcharged. They should also be surcharged for the time that the students have wasted in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
