    "content": "Amendment of 5C. Section 11 of the principal Act is amended in subsection (1) section 11 of No. by deleting the words “a doctorate degree” appearing in paragraph 42 of 2012. (a) and substituting therefor the words “a masters degree”. Clause 5B, as we had alluded to earlier, maybe the clerks could amend “the matters relating to university education” to be “15 years’ experience in matters relating to university education management” as a typographical correction. The amendment seeks to provide that a person shall be qualified for appointment as a Chairperson of the Commission, if that person holds a doctorate degree from a university recognised in Kenya and has at least 15 years’ experience in matters relating to management of university education. It further seeks to provide that a person shall be qualified for appointment as a member of the Commission referred to under Section 6(e), (f) and (g) if the person holds a master’s degree from a university recognised in Kenya and has at least 10 years’ experience in management of university education, not in matters relating to university education. The Chair had earlier alluded to that; not to mean people who have experience in hanging around universities like Babu Owino and the rest. The amendment also seeks to provide that a person shall be qualified for appointment to the Commission only if that person holds a master’s degree from a university recognised in Kenya to ensure that the people we are putting in the Commission are people who are well educated and have the requisite experience in management of universities. I beg that we support the new clauses."
