I want to speak on the issue of court orders. Whenever there is an issue that deals with court orders, there are people who believe because of the positions they hold, powers they wheel or their connections to big people in the society they should not follow them. I think the law must be applied equally and equitably. So, for anybody who has done any wrong the law should not apply in a manner that suggests that some people are more equal than others.

Most importantly, when you listen to some of the people who hold some position, they wish to show the country that unless the court orders are from some powerful positions, they might not obey them. I wish to state that everybody from the police, people working in the public The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this moment.

It is very unfortunate in this age and era that such a thing should happen, especially within town. We expect such things to happen in the villages which are inaccessible. In Nairobi Town, it is very unfortunate. I even asked the Member of Parliament for that area whether the owner of that school has been arrested. I ...

students who cannot qualify to join colleges and universities? In many countries, there is 100 per cent transition from secondary schools to universities. In fact, the university education is free in those countries and the only difference is the courses you pursue. It does not matter whether you have a D- (Minus) or an E; you would still join university, but whichever course you would study is what would make a difference.

There is also the issue of trainers who are primary and secondary school teachers. We normally have recruitment of teachers in this country. The unfortunate part of it is that whenever we do it, we deal with teachers who completed colleges in 2010. You wonder why someone goes to college and then sits at home for almost 20 years. He almost reaches the retirement age before being recruited, yet we have a shortage of over 100,000 teachers in this country. This is for the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research: Make it a rule that every teacher ...

Lastly is the issue of additional universities. The Cabinet Secretary told us the other day that they are closing down some universities. We have so many students who also study in the universities. This closure of some universities should be based on public participation to understand whether we still need more universities or we need to close them.
