Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the dropping of that clause in the sense that the word “quality assurance” is supposed to employ several mechanisms. When you are supposed to qualify and assure, you are supposed to give indicators of those qualities that you are putting in place in a particular university. I am saying that the definition of “quality assurance” is not necessary because it has been defined. This does not explain the various mechanisms that you use to qualify and assure a particular function. If you look at “Foreign University,” you will find that we are talking ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposal by Hon. Ichung’wah. As stipulated currently, offering degrees, diplomas and certificates has been a problem because there is no proper legislation or regulation. This one is very clear. Currently, we have a number of students in various universities and colleges who are undertaking certificate, diploma and degree courses. If this Bill is not brought to fruition, those students will not have a future. This Bill is supposed to protect them and ensure that universities give training that is recognised by all.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose the proposal by the Bomet County Women Representative in the sense that this is the Universities (Amendment) Bill. We have the TIVET Authority that is supposed to deal with issues concerning tertiary institutions. In my consideration, this amendment is actually not supposed to be here. It should be placed in the tertiary institutions because we cannot use legislation for universities to cover the TIVET Authority.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendments by the Chairlady that the Vice-Chairperson shall be of opposite gender. I oppose the Leader of the Majority Party in the sense that we want to ensure that the gender rule is implemented as soon as possible. I want to say this because we cannot allow a whole or almost half of the university population not be represented in the students’ union. Two, I want to put this very clearly. This House has set precedents. Our Speaker and Deputy Speaker are of opposite gender and the leaders of ...
