    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you noted that there was digression from the question to a point where we lost track. In this case, I assume that Sen. Elachi can remember that the Statement sought was about the closure of the university. This was preempted. However, universities are run by their Statutes, the University Council and the Senate. Every university has its own council and senate. Therefore, if there is a problem of that nature, it is up to the council and the Senate to address it exhaustively. In the event of a crisis, they should be in a position to manage it. We should not even advise them. We cannot micromanage universities because they have their Acts and Statutes to follow. In this case, you seem to have followed the Statement. I am satisfied that we got the answers in the discussion. Regarding Prof. Otieno who is alleged to work in a foreign country; I recall when I was in the University of Nairobi, we had Prof. Tota from Ghana. He taught in the university and there was nothing wrong with that. I am not aware of the allegation that Prof. Otieno works in South Africa. However, it was up to the university council to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he was a resident or a visiting professor in South Africa. On the problems which were there then, which could have led to the closure of the university, it could be true. However, those problems should be addressed by the University Council and Senate. I suppose that is what they are doing. Many other universities handle them in a similar manner."
