    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. University education is one of the most important elements in equipping the nation with the capacity to deal with multiple problems that we come face to face with in our daily lives. All these Senators here are products of the university education. I believe, as a former Minister for Education and a Professor in the University of Nairobi, that our professors and lecturers are the most poorly remunerated people within our society. Any nation worth its salt produces a very energetic and extremely talented young people who can take over the mantle of nation building. If we fall short of that expectation, then we run into difficulties of a nation groping around, trying to achieve certain milestones because we have failed in the first instance to accept and appreciate the role of the university lectures and those who work with them. I have also been in the government and I must say at this stage that once a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been agreed upon, with the same zeal, the element of implementation must take into account where the funds will come from. We must also exercise collective responsibility both at the Cabinet and at the Ministry level in being able to understand why that CBA has been agreed upon and why it has not been acted upon. 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."
