    "content": "We have Kenyans who have limited payslips. Some of them are primary school teachers who are trying to educate their children and at the same time get higher education through the institutions. Because of whatever problems they have had, some were not meeting this deadline. The fact that they were going to be locked out, must have contributed greatly to the riots that occurred. We, as a society, must start looking into these issues to see how we can assist Kenyans who have thirst for knowledge to have access to this knowledge. We must make sure that their dreams are not limited by their pockets and payslips. This is one of the issues that has been highlighted by the Committee and we want to support their recommendations. The House is looking forward to the Universities Bill that the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology talked about today. Indeed, the time has come. Most of these issues that have been touched by the Committee are policy issues that have to be addressed through legislation. We are hoping that this Bill will be comprehensive enough to address the issue of administration and make recommendations on the improvement of administration in our institutions of higher learning. The Bill should deal with the issue of bursaries and centralising of this kitty and, most importantly, the regulation of the mushrooming satellite campuses."
