    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish to seek further clarification regarding this statement. In 2010, a new Constitution was promulgated in which every old law which includes the Kenya Medical Training College Act of 1990 was supposed to be repealed in line with the new Constitution. To that extent, the Ministry of Education and many other ministries at that time that had any college or institution of higher learning, created a team that went across the country in order to realign education both in the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education with the new Constitution. That team was led by Prof. Douglas Odhiambo. They came up with recommendations which led to the new Act of 2012. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, does it mean then that the Ministry of Health chickened out and decided to run their affairs as if they are in a different country? The Ministry has ignored the new Act which overrules the old one. In my county, so many students applied and were admitted through the KUCCPS into various colleges. We depend heavily on animals. So, a number of cows were sold to raise fees. To date, those students are at home. We are highly deficient and we require many health personnel, including nurses, medical officers and so on. This interference has killed dreams of many young Kenyans. The scenario is that, in the same Government, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This confusion needs to be addressed properly. Somebody needed to have realised this. I thought there is somebody who is in charge of coordination of Government ministries. When the confusion arose, they should have arrested it quickly. Going to court does not assist. The students are willing and waiting to go to college. They should be told when the next admission will take place between now and December so that the students who have been given admission letters by the genuine board, prepare to go to college."
