The Statement should:- (1) Elaborate on the total amount of funds the Government has distributed to the Universities in the Financial Years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, through the Ministry of Education. (2) The number of students in each and every university that has benefitted from this Ministry’s funding for the Financial Years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. (3) The formula used in sharing out the funds to the universities as brought out in answer to number (1) above. (4) Give reasons as to why despite the President assenting to the Universities Act, 2012 in 2013, the concerned Cabinet Secretary for Education has not established and gazetted the Universities Funding Board of Trustees as set out in Section 54 of the University Act. (5) Table a list of persons who have been executing the Board of Trustees functions since 2013 of managing the Universities Fund, advising the Cabinet Secretary in matters of University Education on funding, on developing the criteria for allocation of the funds to the universities as set out in Section 54(4) (a) to (g) and (5) of the Universities Act.
