    "content": "You can have 101 Motions in the Committee, but you will be talking to “stones” that will never agree with whatever you want to say. Here we have the power to pass Motions, but do we have the money to implement? Do we have the power to take somebody to task that this thing has not been done or implemented? These are the powers we need. We want to make sure that we are well armed, so that if a Motion has been passed here, it must be implemented within a specified period. If there was a way, we should have started as the Senate to give the Ministry of Education a timeframe within which this Motion should be implemented. In my view, I think that would be a very important thing to do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we could flood universities all over the place, but there is something more important than that. Are we capable of paying for university education? Unless we decide on how to get our young people to the university, there are a lot of other things that are needed to be fulfilled by a child before they join university. The cost of university education nowadays is very high and we know it very well. There is one thing that has been omitted in the Motion, that students from the so-called marginalized areas shall be given free university facilities. If we do so, we shall appear to be doing something. But just to have a university in every county is not enough.
