    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am clarifying because the version which is known by most people is that the Vice Chancellor locked herself in a room for five hours when the students were waiting for her to address them. Instead of addressing them, she called the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), who is also her cousin, to send police officers to disperse the students. The Ministry, through the Chairman, is giving us a completely variant position, pointing fingers at the students. Secondly, the Chairman says that the university has now been opened progressively. What is “progressively?” The students had only one week to do exams. So, I expected all the students that were preparing for the exams to have reported to the university, finished their exams and maybe now staggered to open. When you say “progressively”, it could mean that some of them will report next year. So, the exams that were supposed to be done in a week will now be done one year later. This is the scenario which is on the ground and the Chairman is not giving us that version. Lastly, could he define what political interference is? It looks like the leadership of Uasin Gishu and the North Rift is being maligned for nothing because leaders point fingers and nothing happens. Instead of addressing the issue, it is said that leaders are interfering. I want to exonerate political leaders from the top to the bottom in this matter. We need a substantial and proper procedure for all students to report back to the university. The Vice-Chancellor should actually pay the Kshs2 million for damage herself instead of loading it to the students, because she is the one who caused the riots by sticking in her office."
