    "content": "concept that can accommodate a technical institute and a teachers training college. A teachers training college, or a technical institute, cannot accommodate a university, but a university can accommodate a technical training institute. It does not have to be within it, but it can be put up separately. It is just a matter of acquiring some pieces of land and building some parallel institutions the way I did in Bondo, where we used our CDF. We bought land and put up some facilities to start it off and the Government came in and built the rest. Bondo Technical and Teachers College, which is now Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, exists side by side with the TTC which is built in an adjacent place called “Barkanyango”. I believe that this idea of a university is a much bigger one. I think the person who is proposing it has in mind a very big idea for development of his area. Once the university came to Bondo, Bondo became a university town. Kitale will become a university town when a university exists there. This is because there will be a big population, which will include students, teachers and other support staff, who will be working in the university. This will be a market in itself for people who will be producing agricultural produce and other--- It will be an incentive for development in the area. We would like every county, just as has been passed by the Senate, to have at least one university, which will serve as a center of growing the economy of those counties."
