Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would also like to contribute to this important Bill. Just like my colleagues, I also have some reservations to this Bill.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate Sen. Mohamud for bringing this Bill; the Universities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 31 of 2014). This Act will be in line with devolution.
