• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT Clause 5 of the Bill be amended― (a) by deleting the proposed sub-section(2) of the proposed new section 5A and substituting therefor the following new subsection(2) ― (2) Despite the provisions of any other law, the recognition, licensing, student indexing, approval or accreditation of any academic programme including postgraduate degrees, honorary degrees, diplomas including postgraduate diplomas and other academic certificates offered at a university shall be the exclusive mandate of the Commission to be exercised in accordance with this section at the exclusion of any other person or body. (b) by ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding two million shillings or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both.” The amendment seeks to do three things. One is to confer the exclusive mandate to the Commission to recognise, license, approve or accredit any academic programmes including postgraduate degrees, honorary degrees, diplomas including postgraduate diplomas and other academic certificates offered at the university level. The second intention is to basically address what Eng. Gumbo was alluding to, namely, to provide that the Commission engages professional bodies and associations to carry out inspection of universities on its behalf. ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with you that, indeed, the Leader of the Majority Party is misleading the House. What he is purporting to be unconstitutional is, indeed, very constitutional. The two-thirds gender rule is actually anchored in the Constitution, and it is this House that has failed to provide legislation to actualise the provisions of the Constitution. There is nothing harmful in this country achieving that two-thirds gender rule by starting to train our young ladies at the university level. I will say this as a father of three very beautiful girls, who I would one day want ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be deleted. The amendment seeks to delete the provision barring a private university granted a charter from entering into a financial arrangement with any person or institution upon such terms and conditions as may be set out in such financial arrangements, for purposes of financing objectives for which such a university is established. The principal objective is just to allow private universities also to access finances from whatever institution they can get finances from to advance the very business that they are licensed by the Commission. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 15 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph― (c) by deleting the words “public universities, establish” appearing in paragraph (d) and substituting therefor the words “Chairpersons of Councils of public universities, propose and establish for approval by the Cabinet Secretary and the Auditor-General”; This amendment seeks to clarify the provisions relating to the funding of public universities and the issuance of conditional grants to private universities. I propose that Members support the amendment as contained in the Order Paper. view

• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be deleted. My amendment seeks to delete the clause to avoid creating ambiguity in the placement by respective universities or colleges of the Government sponsored students to the existing universities. The clause seems to confer the role concurrently to both the Commission and the universities. You will appreciate that beginning this year the Jubilee Administration has done the students of this country a lot of good service by enabling many who would not have been able to access university education, to be placed to private universities ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am sure the Chair of the Committee has gone through the amendment and she is aware. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 17 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “university or” and substituting therefore the words “senate of a university granted a charter or by”. This amendment seeks to create clarity on the transitional provisions by providing that the Act shall not apply to an academic programme previously approved or accredited by the senate of a university granted a charter or the commission prior to the coming into force of ... view

Section 7 of the principal Act is amended― section 7 of No. (a) in subsection (1) ― 42 of 2012.
