• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Maybe I should inform Members that within that particular panel, we have virtually everybody. In the Fourth Schedule which I was to come to later, we have a representative from the Council; a representative of the Public Service Commission; Principal Secretary, Ministry of Education; Principal Secretary for the time being responsible for finance; two representatives, being one man and one woman, nominated by the Senate; a representative of the University Academic Staff Union; a representative of alumni association, and so on. So, when you look at our proposal, in which… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Order! You really need to listen to us. We have been working for you. We work on behalf of this Parliament. We have expanded and strengthened the process so that we shall never again have the kind of noise we have been getting from our universities about the selection of Vice Chancellors. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Universities Act, 2012 by - (b) deleting the proposed amendment to section 39(3) and substituting therefor the following proposed new subsections – “(3) the Vice-Chancellor of a public university shall hold office for a term of three years and shall be eligible for reappointment for one more term, upon satisfactory performance, as evaluated by the Council. (3A) A person who immediately before the commencement of this Act, is a Vice- Chancellor of a public university, shall remain in office for the remaining ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It talks about the tenure of office. Let me come out clearly so that the House may again hear me. Formerly, Vice Chancellors have been serving for a period of 10 years. That is two terms. In our proposal, Hon. Leader of the Majority Party and Chair if you may listen to me, they will serve for a period of three years. They are allowed to serve an extra three years if they are confirmed to be competitive and good in their work. That is the suggestion we are proposing for that section. We have reduced their term from 10 ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would want to also bring to the notice of the House that the section being proposed by the Hon. Member was not really part of the Bill that we were given to deal with. If you check Standing Order No. 133(5), it clearly indicates that we do not have to expand our mandate beyond what we were already given by the Bill. So, I refer you to that. Therefore, I think the proposal is null and void. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: But when you look at it clearly, it is an amendment that would have required subjecting to public participation and so on. However, the way it has been brought in is such that that has not been done. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Could Hon. Ichungw’ah explicitly explain, like the Leader of the Majority Party did, on what the amendment means to the changes he is proposing? view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Members, even though we have been here for a long time, we shall still be here. That would jump the gun. It will make the interim universities to jump over because of a law that we have passed. Maybe there were issues that they were supposed to satisfy before they are given that status. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: There were many universities operating behind shops. Some of them, yes, were big. But, during Matiang’i’s time, he tried to control pilfering of universities. What this law is almost doing is to give even those that did not mandate to execute certain authorities to execute. That is not good for law-making and ourselves. view
