Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Committee is serious with its work because last week you directed that given the nature of the statement I sought and the way he is trying to answer the question casually; they agreed that they will respond this week to finality. I am surprised that he is trying to say they have gone on holiday when things are serious in my county.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that research is a mystified domain which remains a preserve of selected Government agencies, academic institutions of higher learning and a few other organizations; concerned that even in the said institutions of learning, research is usually introduced at post-graduate level; further concerned that research has not been prioritized and very low funding is channelled towards it; the Senate calls upon the National Government to:- a) take deliberate measures to cascade research to lower level of education right from early childhood education level; b) inculcate and ...
