The National Assembly Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education met various parastatals' officials to discuss audit queries contained in Reports of the Auditor General.

The Committee, Chaired by Hon. Jack Wamboka (Bumula), sought responses from Parastatal Heads on matters related to financial transparency, accountability and governance.
Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services (KUCCPS) led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mrs. Agnes Wahome was asked to explain whether it is prudent for the Government to sponsor students in private Universities. Members further sought  to understand what informed the decision to have students pick courses offered in private universities, despite public universities having the capacity to absorb all students.

In her submission, the KUCCPS CEO informed the Committee  that Public Universities do have the capacity to admit all Government-sponsored students and that is what informed the decision to have qualified students get admission in private universities  and sponsorship by the Government.

The Committee is set to hold meetings with other stakeholders with an aim of ensuring that Government sponsorship of students in private universities is put to an end.

Other parastatal heads who appeared before the Committee include; The CEO Kenya School of Law (LSK) , Dr. Henry Mutai,  the Managing Director, University of Nairobi Enterprises and Services (UNES) Limited Mr. Seith Abeka,  the Principal  Karen Technical Training Institute for the Deaf (KTTID) Ms. Tecla Chemobo and the UNESCO CEO Dr. Evangeline Njoka.
