• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I explained earlier on, the role of the chancellor was first handed over by the current President. We now have very many chancellors. The role of the Cabinet Secretary is absolutely nothing but gazettement. In fact, for the vice-chancellor, there is competitive sourcing by the councils themselves. So, there is no role on appointment by the Cabinet Secretary except to gazette what has been recommended. That is what is going on currently for both principals of colleges and vice-chancellors. Therefore, they are not appointees of the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary sieves the competitive ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me as a matter of persuasion say that the freedom or the autonomy that the universities have received in the recent past, after the chancellors were nominated rather than have the President, is very good that we do not want to go back on it. The competitive way of sourcing vice-chancellors is one of the best things that ever happened to the universities and I want to confirm that it is not the Cabinet Secretary who appoints. The Cabinet Secretary’s role is to gazette because he is the head of the sector. So, this ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the first one is elected by student’s body as provided by the charter. The intention of that is that the universities will articulate in the charter how the student’s body is formed; once that has been formed then. I am accepting what hon. Odhiambo- Mabona has given in “d” because a student’s association can have a council that will steer it. In Clause 1, we are establishing the students’ association. We are saying the association must be elected--- view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir; I would like to accept that amendment. The body itself is not being elected. It is the council that is going to be elected. So, thank you. I would like to accept the amendment that we delete “elected” because the students’ body will be established as per the charter and that is it. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, very okay--- view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I want to agree but I want to insert an additional two words at the end of the new subclause 2, “Every university shall have a students’ council, elected by the students’ association and no more than one-third of the council shall be of the same gender, where applicable”. I am saying this because we have one university that is purely female and we see United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) spreading the same message that we should have female only universities. So, I want to add the words “where applicable” I think that is okay. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, then on my original subclause (2), I would like to amend it by changing the subclause (2) to be subclause (3) and deleting the word “association” after “students’” and replacing it with the word “council” view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 48 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to move an amendment to subclause (2) to change subclause (2) to be subclause (3) and to delete the word “association”. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Clause 40(1) is what was moved; subclause (2)--- view
