    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I comment on this issue, allow me just for the record to highly congratulate the young girl, Goldalyn Kakuya, the first girl with albinism who has topped the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) Exams for 2017. This is remarkable and it goes ahead to show that, indeed, any child, given an opportunity, can excel. It goes ahead to demystify issues of children or persons with albinism and indeed disabilities and any other marginalized groups of people. It is quite unfortunate to hear that universities are holding monies that are meant for statutory deductions like the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and, therefore, if you have a loan you end up defaulting because your employer is not submitting that same deduction. It is also unfortunate to hear that the Senate is being petitioned to deal with human resources issues of the public universities. It goes ahead to point that there are serious managerial challenges because unions must not be forced to come to Parliament to seek redress on matters that are purely administrative. If it is about the implementation of the CBA, it would be arguable but the Constitution clearly demarcates that role to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). Since we are the ones appropriating monies, that is okay, although that also needs to be looked into within the wider gamut of the public debt because it is a serious issue The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
