"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to applaud Hon. Wamaua for this very progressive Bill. We frequently deal with education matters at the constituency level. My main concern is with the title of the Bill; it is called the \"Basic Education (Amendment) Bill.\" However, I believe the sub-county education boards should be responsible for overseeing basic, higher, and even (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) TVET institutions. We need to rephrase this title so it encompasses all levels of education. In section 18 (g), the proposal mentions that the Board can co-opt additional members. My question is: Who will pay for this? Otherwise, everything concerning the equity of teachers has been said. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "Regarding the registration of schools, I want to share an example, and then I will conclude. There was a school condemned by the Ministry of Health, and it took an incredibly long time to deregister it. As a result, we had to construct a new school on that site. The process requires approval that often has to go all the way to Nakuru, which serves 11 constituencies. Changing the name of a school is also a lengthy process. We need to understand how the funding we disburse is allocated and utilised, and this can only be addressed effectively by that kind of board. Therefore, I support the teacher in Wamaua. This is indeed very progressive."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to congratulate Hon. Mary Wamaua for this kind of initiative. I believe we share similar backgrounds, and you are clearly passionate about this issue. It would be criminal if a guru teacher like me does not contribute to this. I support this Bill for four main reasons. First, I support the inclusion of the Member of Parliament as an ex-officio member of the Board. Our role as representatives of the people in matters of education is crucial. When we come to Parliament, we voice the concerns of our constituents, including teachers. Including the Member of Parliament as an ex-officio member will facilitate smoother and more coherent operations regarding education issues. Second, I support the amendment because it proposes quarterly meetings. This frequency will allow us to address challenges promptly. Third, I endorse this Bill because it focuses on monitoring and evaluation. I am a guru in monitoring and evaluation. One of the things that fail us as a country is that resources are disbursed, but mechanisms of monitoring and evaluation are not implemented. With regard to teachers and the functionality of the Sub-County Boards, they will not be effective without adequate resources. Finally, regarding teachers' recruitment, there is a school called Radiro Primary School in Kanyada West, Homa Bay Town – where I come from – which has a teacher retiring every other year. This business should be checked by the Sub-County Board so that fairness…"

Wamaua, for coming up with this progressive Bill whose purpose is to take services closer to the people. I support all that my colleagues have said. My county, Nakuru County, is very huge; it has 11 sub-counties. Therefore, the County Education Board has a lot of work. They rarely meet, yet there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in the sub-counties. Thus, by creating the Sub-County Education Board, the services will be moved closer to the people."
