    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for that further clarification. I will start with hon. (Ms) Wahome’s. The issue about sexual abuse was raised. Some of the names that were suggested, no one appeared before the Committee even after a follow up and, of course, we did not also get any medical report within the health facilities that there was a report on rape. On the issues that have been raised by Members, I would like to tell this House that every University has a student hand book; every University is unique with their own rules and code of conducts. So, it is very hard for this Committee to really stipulate on what should be done on what University. That is why one of our recommendations is that the Ministry of Education should come up with a clear policy especially on levies that are paid to those universities, especially levies like the industrial attachment. It is something very clear that all students go industrial attachment and this can be shared. This should not only be in the Ministry of Education. We have the Commission of University Education and this is one of their mandates and I am very sure they can be able to do it very well. On whether the recommendations that we have followed up on the recommendation that we tabled, hon. Maanzo, we have already followed. We could not have followed before tabling this Report to this House. We have really lined up. This investigation has taken some time because we had to get the facts. We had to hear the issues from the horse’s mouth. For us to compile the Report, we filed and we were waiting to be given a chance also to table this Report. So, upon tabling this Report, we are also going to make sure that the Ministry of Education and also the University will know that we have done the recommendations and the student should be re-admitted immediately. That is because we have already tabled this Report. On the issue about ethnicity, I have already mentioned that there is National Cohesion and Integration Commission and I think it is high time that the National Cohesion Committee forms that Commission so that they are able to follow up on the Report. The Report was done a few years ago and so, we need to know what has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
