• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 27 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, they are not distinct as far as part (b) of hon. Millie Odhiambo’s amendment is concerned. Actually, the concern of the Chairman of the Departmental Committee is addressed by hon. Millie Odhiambo in part (b) of her amendment. Her dispute was the use of the words “may” and “shall”. Looking at the amendment proposed by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee, since it refers to new academic programmes, then the word “may” will sell. Therefore, the amendment by hon. Millie Odhiambo is not necessary because we are dealing specifically with the new programmes that an ... view

• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 28 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to agree with Millie on (a) which says we delete part (b). I am agreeing because we have inserted the first introduction in (hh) which has taken care of infrastructure. We can delete this because we have taken care of infrastructure in Clause 13 (hh) which had been introduced earlier. Actually, it does the same thing. We are talking about infrastructure in (b). I have no problem with (c) which asks us to conform with standards. We can add that. It is sub-clause (d) that is a little bit tricky. I know that ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I agree with Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I must thank Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona for enriching this section. We have looked through the amendments that she has given. We will take sub-clause 3 as it is, because that is an extra addition which only strengthens our vigilance on foreign universities. In sub-clause 4, the only word we want to change is “the Cabinet Secretary shall”. It should be “the Commission shall” because it is part of the functions of the commission. Sub-Clause 5--- view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Sub- Clause 5 is already a function of the Commission. So, I would suggest that we do not need to have that because we have already set up a department of accreditation in the new Commission for University Education. So, that is also done. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in sub-clause 6 on making it an offence, yes, we agree wholesomely with what Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona has said. But when you go to sub-clause 7, once you have accepted sub-clause 4 which makes it mandatory for the Commission at the beginning of each year and each quarter of an year to publish universities that are accredited, we do expect that once we obey that, the offence in sub-clause 7 will not be there. But further, the offender at this stage will be anybody who will be issuing a programme that is not accredited. All those ... view
