    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am aware that the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) has threatened to go on strike in solidarity with Prof. Sammy Kubasu, their Chairman. I would like to tell the House that this matter has already been reported to the University Council. We discussed this matter about three weeks ago. The Appeals Committee of the Council is expected to give a report to the University Council to listen to the case with a view to dealing with the matter or finalizing it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, UASU has been informed about this in writing. Unfortunately, the Masinde Muliro University Council has not been renewed for some time. We are in the process of doing so. I think in the next week or so, it should be in place after which that report should be given to the Council and hopefully, reinstate Prof. Kubasu. I would like, therefore, to appeal to the members of UASU with whom the Permanent Secretary has already had a sitting with, I think on 1st December, and explained the circumstances, to just be patient. We think Prof. Kubasu has a case and it should not be a problem, except that this Council is not in place. Once it is in place, the matter will be dealt with. So, we beg for patience."
