• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 33 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have no objection to that. We will accept anything that can deter this kind of action. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had appealed that we also remove sub-clause (5) because it is already a function of the Commission. The Commission already has a Department of Accreditation in the Ministry. I think she had mentioned that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that is the only one. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that this one will be misplaced. The Commission for University Education does not involve itself in funding. We have the Higher Education Loans view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 36 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) Board (HELB) which is covered under a different law. The HELB is the one that sets scholarships as well as loans and bursaries for students. So, this one will not apply here, because the Commission is a regulator and not a financier. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to say I agree that the amendment of hon. Millie has already been taken care of by the Chairman’s amendment. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have not seen it. I thought maybe he was amending what hon. Koech has so that we carry it on the same amendment. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, maybe it was not clear to me exactly what the amendment would be. If it is just the word “consultation”, I would like to agree with the Chairman of the Education Committee that the charter itself is approved and since it is approved, what we are giving further is to give the private university room to be more creative and to bring anything else after the charter has been approved. In fact, it is what will stimulate their growth. We do not want to restrict them to the day they submit the charter. We want ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the spirit with which the Member is moving this amendment is exactly the spirit with which the clause is intended. Approval does not mean that you submit and people are going to scrutinize you. It is saying that already you have a charter and it has been approved. They might discover that universities elsewhere are more dynamic and have other governance organs that they would like to introduce for themselves. Consultation will not help them because you do not have to consult the Commission as a private investor. We are giving them room to introduce ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have one comment to make. The Chairman certifies in Clause 1(d) that five members are appointed by the Cabinet Secretary through an open and competitive process. These are members of the council and open, yes, but competitive, they will not even want to apply.
