    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to strongly support that this Petition should go to the Committee for thorough investigation and discussions. University education in this country is going through a lot of challenges, particularly when it comes to issues touching on lecturers. It touches even the parents because whenever students are not being taught in universities – for example now when they are at home – most of the parents are paying for the hostels which their children are not occupying as of now. This is an expense to the parents in this country. It is a reality that universities deduct statutory deductions but do not submit to the relevant institutions. When I was in the university as a lecturer, our five months statutory deductions were never submitted to the relevant institutions and up to today, I am paying for the same. Most lecturers are suffering from the same problem. There was a time when so many lecturers could not attend lessons because they were chased up and down by their guarantors. These universities must be investigated thoroughly so that we get to know if actually the Government surrenders money and the universities have been using it in different ways. For instance, it is mentioned somewhere that three universities have already settled their issues; why not the others? Could it be that the government has been giving money to these universities but they are using it for other purposes; maybe physical 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."
