    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been said - and I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee for executing their mandate and doing a good job--- But when you say you need the autonomy of the universities, I think there is a difference between autonomy and delegation of duties. We cannot have several semi-vice chancellors in all the campuses that we have. Otherwise, we will wreck the institution because we will not know who is in charge. It is important to emphasize the duty of delegation. The Minister can do that with the Vice-Chancellor and Chairman in order to improve dialogue. Then, you can be able to delegate responsibility. You cannot say that you have an autonomous law or medical school. Kenyatta University has grown. They did not have a medical school but now they do. They did not have a law school but now they have. They even have a campus here in Nairobi City. So, they have decentralized their operations. It is good to ask the officials there to make sure that delegation is improved and not insist on autonomy. If we go the route of autonomy, we will bring more chaos to the management of our universities."
