    "content": "Government. The current practice is that KUCCPS deals with the placement of Government- sponsored students to public colleges and those that are not prohibited from taking up self- sponsored students. Further, the proposed amendment in Section 58 removes colleges established by separate statutes other than the repealed Education Act from the ambit of TVET Act. Adversely, this institution will not be regulated by TVET Authority and it is unclear how education standards will be ensured. Who will accredit and inspect programmes and courses? The role that TVET Authority plays in technical and vocational training cannot be gainsaid and should be retained as it is. Whereas an establishment statute may contain provision as an establishment of management, the regulatory aspect of education in this institution is not addressed in the establishment statutes and no proposals have been made to set out the regulator. On the same breath, it is important that some of the colleges that have continued admitting students where we already gave that work to KUCCPS, action should be taken against them by the mother ministry. So far, there are some colleges that are still admitting students. It is ridiculous where we have doctors being admitted in the universities, but in medical schools they are admitted by the college itself. We know why some people have been fighting for it and we want to tell the mother ministry to take action against those colleges. I beg to move."
