  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the essence of this amendment is to ensure that where a person was forced to vacate office because of any legal issue is not found culpable of any unlawful act by a competent legal authority, he should resume his position. view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (g)- (gg) the core courses offered at the university; (hh) the infrastructure in place or proposed infrastructure and the locations or proposed locations thereof, including that of constituent colleges, and which must comply with infrastructural standards established by the Commission. view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in this amendment, I am proposing that the University Charter should provide for the core courses of the university and any proposed infrastructure for constituent colleges. view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for raising that issue. I just want to thank you for raising that issue. I want to raise the concerns I have after looking through this Bill. It raises very fundamental issues in the Non-governmental organizations (NGO) sector. I am also aware that many organizations have been complaining about this Bill; it would have been really fair for the Ministry to be here to give us the opportunity--- I would encourage that we continue because it is their responsibility and if they are not here ... view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I had severally raised this matter with the Minister before, and she said that we were waiting for The Universities Bill where we would incorporate standards of infrastructure. This is out of my concern about the low standards of infrastructure that we are providing for our universities. view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not think what I am saying is at variance with what the Minister is saying. What I am basically saying is that the law is saying “provide for infrastructural standards” as established by the Commission whereas the Minister is talking about regulations. So, the regulations will give the details. In the parent law, we are saying that there must be infrastructural standards. When we leave it to the regulations without providing for it as a concern in the parent Bill, we will continue to have problems. In fact, what the Minister is doing ... view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if Mr. Koech’s amendment seeks to deal with the new programmes, then it takes into account my concern. This is because my concern is that you are talking about a university that is already granted a charter, then they may develop. If they do not develop, what happens to the students? view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I want to congratulate Mrs. Noor for bringing this Bill. I want to say that from the outset that I support it with a bit of reservation. I would support with a reservation because of two reasons; one, this is an extremely important Bill that is raising fundamental issues. It seeks to abolish a Government institution and set up another in its place. Indeed, that was why the Chair was saying that we did not have the relevant Ministry to tell us whether they are comfortable with that and the reasons for the ... view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: So, I am okay in respect to (d). view
  • 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
