That is, in both countries, the majorities have been in power for a long and close period of time. In Albania, there has been little public debate on the limitations that the Parliament imposed on the financial and human resources available to SPAK. Thus, explaining the proposal to amend the Law on the Public Prosecutor's Office, the proposer of the amendments in Serbia emphasized "the need to amend some decisions related to the decision-making competence, for the referral of public prosecutors to other public prosecutors...".

Lab technologists during routine clinical research at Kombewa Clinical Research Centre in Seme, Kisumu county. This is not because our academics lack talent or ambition, but because the university system itself is not designed to properly support research and innovation. Nonetheless, if Kenya is serious about becoming a true knowledge economy, we must rethink how research and innovation are organised, funded, and supported across higher education. The result is a system that excels at churning out graduates but struggles to create knowledge that drives national development.
