"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe that came after we had done our report. But at the time we did our report, there was none. Then there was this issue of the student who was killed. There was conflicting information on this. This was because there is rivalry within the security system. One organ of the security system is privately hired by the university while the other one is employed by the university. The employees of the university do not take orders from the security firm which has been hired on commercial basis. In fact, it was even alleged by the time the student died, the police had not arrived. So, it was the internal security system that may have done it. There was also the issue of the 200 computers which got lost. I believe, the Government machinery should have, at least, by now, had an idea about them. Two hundred computers are very many just to get lost like that, yet we have a security system. We have the police and the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS). Up to now, nobody seems to know where these computers have gone to. This is something that we should take seriously. As a Committee, our mandate was to find out if any politician was involved in the riots at the Kenyatta University. In our report, we did not find any politician involved in these riots. So, it was just hearsay. Lastly, not only the Kenyatta University, but all our universities should plan in accordance with what they have. It is like a family. If you have ten children, you should plan for them. But our universities are not planning for what they have. They are planning for what they want to get. They are more interested in wanting to get money, disregarding the facilities that they have. So, they are not providing quality education at all. The expansion is too fast compared to the existing facilities. With those remarks, I wish to support."
