    "content": "Health and Education. It gave direction that the KMTC Board should continue admitting students to its colleges as per its mandate. Contrary to this guidance, the KUCCPS admitted students for the academic years 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Regarding the admission for 2015/2016, the KUCCPS, on 20th July, 2015 forwarded to the KMTC a list of 2,302 students selected for various courses in the institution with a fee note of Kshs3,453,000 for placement services. On 25th July, 2015, in a paid advert in a section of the print media, the KUCCPS published the names of selected students to the KMTC. Meanwhile, the KMTC Board of Management had, in the month of April, 2015, sanctioned the selection process as per the provisions of the KMTC Act. In this regard, the KMTC placed paid advertisements in the print media on 17th April, 2015 and 21st April, 2015, inviting applicants for its various courses. Further, the college undertook a radio campaign in the month of June, 2015, in which it informed members of the public that it is only the KMTC that has the mandate to select students for its courses. The college has since issued admission letters to the students selected to join the college in September, 2015. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, following the parallel admission, the Health Committee of the National Assembly discussed the matter with the Ministry and the KMTC Board of Management on 4th August, 2015. The Committee affirmed the earlier resolution that admission of students to the KMTC is the mandate of the KMTC Academic Board. In view of the foregoing, the fate of students who were selected by the KUCCPS lies with the selecting institution which is better placed to address the subject. Meanwhile, the Senate may note that some of the affected students selected by the KUCCPS have sought legal redress and the matter is now in court. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
