    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am the Member for Funyula, distinct from the gentleman from Kisumu Central. As much as I understand the rationale for the cuts here and there, it is extremely unfortunate to deny universities adequate funding. Those of us who live in this country have seen a litany of challenges at the university education because of inadequate funding in terms of salaries, funds for research and generally for improvement of facilities. We have seen the Commission for University Education (CUE) closing quite a number of campuses because they are ill suited for offering higher education. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, even at the level it was, it was not enough. I came straight from the classroom to this place and funding was never enough. The University of Nairobi has been ranked one of the best universities in the region and we cannot starve it of funding and reduce it to a village polytechnic."
