• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary if he is aware that in Wajir, there is an acute shortage of teachers, both in the primary and secondary schools.

• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank Sen. Oketch Gicheru for bringing up this issue because this is a weighty matter that needs the attention of everybody in this country.

Every other day, you see in the newspapers that parts of a body have been found. We have not been experiencing that in Kenya. The loss of Dahabo Daud, her daughter Amina Dahir together with her niece, Nusayba Abdi and the rest of the Kenyans who are missing is unacceptable.

• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: There is a question that I asked and the Cabinet Secretary has not come out very well. I said in northern Kenya, we rely on teachers employed by the Board of Management (BoM) both in the primary and secondary schools. I asked whether the Ministry could train those teachers because TSC does not have enough teachers. Can the Ministry train those teachers so that they can catch up with the new curriculum of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and all these things? We do not have enough teachers. So, we are asking if the Ministry can help us to train those ... view
