    "content": "launching new degree programmes in the universities. In the same letter, he asked the Commission for Higher Education (CHE) to co-ordinate appropriate consultation about this matter for all stakeholders. In addition to the above efforts, consultative meetings have been held between the ERB and Egerton University. During these meetings, both the Board and the university tried to solve the issues of the Engineering graduates from Egerton University. After these consultative meetings, the University was asked to revise the Engineering Academic curriculum so that it is in line with the requirements of the ERB. The university complied with this and submitted their revised curriculum to the Board in February, 2010. However, to date, the ERB has not responded despite several reminders from the university. I believe that if the ERB acts on the request of the University, this matter will be resolved. My Ministry has also developed a Draft Universities Bill which is awaiting Cabinet consideration. In this Bill, one of the provisions is that the CHE will be mandated to oversee quality and relevance of the academic programmes in public universities, which was not the case before. I believe that when the Bill comes to this House, we will require the support of the House to pass it as the Act will resolve many issues affecting university education."
