• 14 Nov 2023 in Senate: of various interventions, we can recruit teachers. As my colleague Senator for Mandera has said, the counties have taken up the initiative to train their teachers. There are almost 2000 students who have joined technical colleges and universities, and in the next five years, these counties will have enough teachers. This is a good move. The cluster points issue which has been an obstacle to the training of teachers has now been removed by the Ministry of Education. The subject clusters are not there now. Anyone with a C+ can now do a diploma. This has given us leeway to ... view

• 14 Nov 2023 in Senate: The other thing is the Universal Health Care (UHC), which is a wonderful move. The Afya Nyumbani is a good move whereby, 100,000 Community Health Providers (CHPs) have been trained and deployed. However, we need to give them enough facilities. Some of the areas in the Northern part are under-developed. The roads are a problem. This morning, I saw in the paper that a mother who was in labour had to swim across a river to deliver. That mother risked her child by swimming across the river. I was not impressed. However, we need to get enough facilities to promote ... view
