• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Of late, we have been having problems of insecurity throughout the nation. Apart from cattle rustling we have had the issue of the attack in Mandera. We have had clan clashes and sporadic clashes all over the country. Generally, this is exaggerated by the fact that we are going to an electioneering year. As much as we have been blaming the security and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, as leaders we have a role to play. We cannot keep on pointing fingers at the Ministry of Interior and Coordination ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose this clause. We need to be very clear. We are enacting laws and we need to be clear especially on security issues. When we allow words that are not clear, we are opening up room for misinterpretation and that can be very dangerous. Extraneous security circumstances can be during elections. What will stop us from calling elections extraneous security circumstances? With the strongest terms possible, I oppose this amendment. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill. At the outset, while citing a few examples from the clauses, this Bill gives a provision for mobile schools where access is a problem especially in pastoralist areas. It will be an opportunity for the pastoralist parents to take their children to school at an early age and thus give them the chance to enjoy their rights as Kenyans. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill gives a provision for registration of schools and setting of standards. That is something that has been missing. Schools have been mushrooming without control. Quality assurance has been a problem in most of our schools. That is why schools have not been performing well and have issues in a number of counties. This Bill will, therefore, give a provision for quality assurance by setting up a quality assurance board that regulates and monitors the schools. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill gives a provision for deregistration in case a centre is not able to meet the standards or in case there are anomalies and malpractices in terms of teaching. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Bill also talks about sponsors. We have been having problems with sponsors to the extent that some schools go as far as not allowing students from other faiths to dress as dictated by their faith. It gives their roles so that they do not take the role that should be taken by the Government and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, the Bill provides punishment for parents who do not take their children to such centres for education. The fine is only Kshs10,000 but that is the beginning. Any parent who does not take his child for education will be culpable of committing an offence and will be punished for that offence. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a petition by the Kenya Student Nurses Chapter of the National Nurses Association of Kenya regarding direct employment of graduate nurses by the Public Service Commission (PSC). I, the undersigned, on behalf of the Kenya Student Nurses Chapter of the National Nurses Association of Kenya, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, since 2009, there has been no guaranteed employment for graduate nurses in Kenya; THAT, full implementation of the scheme of service for nursing personnel has not been achieved despite its approval by the Public Service Commission in 2014; THAT, there ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Health:- (i) Recommend fair distribution of available current and future vacant recruitment positions of nursing personnel to reflect all cadres; (ii) Recommend that the Ministry of Health implements the scheme of service for nursing personnel approved in May 2014; and, (iii) Makes any other order or direction it deems fit in the circumstances of this case. Your Petitioners will forever pray. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
