    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for affording me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. The principle appears to be a good one although I do share the sentiments that have just been rendered by my colleague that we need to stop creating so many institutions during this time when we want to reduce the wage bill. So, the question is: Is there a possibility where we can achieve what we want to achieve without creating a new authority? That authority is going to incur a lot of expenses. It is going to become a very big institution because it is going to employ so many people and it will require so many resources and yet, probably, an inter-ministerial committee would have sufficed to do that. But, be that as it may, assuming the principle is basically to harmonize recognition of certificates in the country, it is a good idea. I have seen conflicts in this nation in two professions--- I know there are students doing engineering in, say, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology and Mombasa Technical University. The Engineering Board has refused, for one reason or another, to recognize those certificates. As a result, students are really suffering. I have also seen my fellow colleagues in the legal profession doing that course in some other institutions and there, degrees are not recognized---"
