Section 13 of the principal Act is amended in subsection (1) section 13 of No. 42 by inserting the words “or a Letter of Interim Authority” of 2012. immediately after the word “Charter”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, initially I thought I would drop that, but a Letter of Interim Authority for a university is currently also considered as an instrument of accreditation. Therefore, I need to open that for debate. When we say only the charter--- I would like to read the principal Act. Section 13(1) says: “Every university in Kenya shall be established by a charter in accordance with this Act.” We know that there are universities which already exist with interim letter of authority before they are fully given a charter. I would beg to move that amendment so that we have a Letter of Interim Authority or a charter."}
