• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: morning and teach people’s children comfortably, enjoy the job that you do and have your whole heart and mind completely dedicated to that job? So, the issue of their pay is something that we also need to address as we think about how to solve this particular issue. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I said this last week when we were speaking to something different but in relation to education. Actually it was on Sen. (Dr.) Ali’s Bill on health workers. The ECDE teachers are one such lot that we have not fairly treated as an institution of the Senate. One of the things we must demand is that despite them not being employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), nothing stops the Ministry. Policy formulation is part of the duties of the Ministry of Education. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: We must move from the habit where the Ministry of Education or generally Government Ministries--- So long as there is no monetary reward in formulating a certain policy, they move away from that duty. I can assure you if there was a way of making money out of the problem of ECDE teachers, the Ministry of Education would have found a solution. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: The problem is that people do not want to formulate policies where there is no material interest for them. That is quite unfortunate. How come more than 10 years since the passage of the new Constitution there has not been a single taskforce to advise each of our counties on the proposed public policy on how to treat ECDE teachers uniformly across all the 47 counties? view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Teachers that teach in Nyamira, which is Sen. Omogeni’s county, and those that teach in Kericho go through the same training. Why should those in Nyamira be treated differently from those in Kericho, Kisumu, Bungoma or any other county? We must ensure that we treat all public servants serving either in the national or county governments equally across all the borders of our Republic. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is unfair that we have left many of these issues. The first one is to have a unified human resource policy. Just the same way we discussed about what we need to do with the health workers, we need to do the same for ECDE teachers. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I can see the Chair for the Committee on Education here. I was a bit worried that she is not listening but I can see her noting our concerns. Part of what they must return to this House are proposed solutions in terms of unifying a common practice. That is how teachers should be treated across the 47 counties, such that we have them uniformly remunerated and promoted and how much public investments can go to them in terms of equipping their skills and all that. That will be a good move in terms of addressing these challenges. Therefore, I ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance. I want to make brief comments on this emotive issue. Health is a challenging discussion that we currently have in our country. Yesterday, at the rise of the House, many Members were speaking to various challenges that our health sector faces in relation to a Bill sponsored by our colleague, Sen (Dr.) Ali. If you listened to many of the presentations that were being made by Members, then you realise that perhaps with the exception of unemployment and public debt, then our public health system is the next biggest challenge we have ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: This is a simple request that these patients are presenting before us. It is not difficult. I believe in the Committee on health. When they invite experts, because I have seen that this Petition, despite being done by ordinary patients, part of the people who undersigned on this Petition are the doctors and practitioners who treat many of the patients that they know. They shared with us their experience and say, as doctors, despite the fact that many of these patients are not able to pay us, you cannot sit pretty in your house knowing that a particular patient has ... view
