"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thought that you were to revert back to me again, because the Chairman is not supposed to speak with finality, as though he is the Cabinet Secretary. I am from the ground where the problem is. I represent the entire region academically and the students who were affected come from my county as well. Whatever I am saying is the reality and my version also needs to be listened to. Seven out of nine employees at the senior management level were suspended. The Vice Chancellor and the Deputy Vice Chancellor were left. The Chairman is not telling us in the report that the seven who were suspended are from one region and the other two are from a different region. One person, Dr. Mary Chepkite Lopokoiyit, got shocked and died as a result of the suspension. She was alleged to have addressed students when they were agitating to see the Vice Chancellor. I agree with Sen. Musila that we need the report to be tabled on the Floor of the House, for us to interrogate it in details, including the circumstances that led to the death of that senior officer. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Vice Chancellor and the other two are not bothered. This is a serious matter and the people of Uasin Gishu and the North Rift in particular would want to exhaustively know how the situation at the University is being handled and why the other people have been suspended and they have not gone back to duty."
