• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Dr. Pukose says “and” and “or” are the same. In my opinion they are not. There are two different issues here. I would want him to expound on that. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I know we want to get over this Bill but could the Chair please expound. The Health Bill has been in the pipeline for a long time. We are not even sure if it will come to the Floor of the House. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I even wanted to speak on the Third Schedule. Could the Chair expound on what he means when he says “according to their training”? Could he tell us that at the moment, they are allowed to prescribe or to use the equipment? If they are not, this Bill was being specific that they should do those things, apart from what he has just mentioned. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, first, I want to debunk the idea of Hon. Pukose that I am illiterate in this field. He should withdraw that remark. I wanted to raise it as a point of order. But this provision that says “may, where necessary” does not limit any clinical officer from doing anything. Had it said “shall”, then, it would have limited. So, I do not see the point in this at all. I oppose. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I would like to welcome a school from my constituency. It is a public boarding primary school called Bishop Lawi Imathiu. They have come at the right time because we are debating the Kenya National Examinations Council Bill. I should congratulate Hon. Agoi for bringing this Bill. Many a times, many students have had their results cancelled without being given a chance to present their case. Many a times, results for a school are cancelled instead of the results of one or two people. A case ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: As Hon. Moroto has said, we need to know how students have been performing over the years once they sit Standard Eight exams, or is it going to be Standard Seven now? We need to change the system of exams. We should not say that the last exams you did are the ones to take you to the next level. That is because you could have been performing well all along but, on the day of the national exams, you get jitters or something crops up in the family. Something else happens and your performance goes down. We should not ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: school or to further education on the last exam. We should have a system where we depend on continuous assessment of students. It has been mentioned by one of our colleagues that D- (Minus) should not be put into the dustbin. We should see how we can move those people forward. We should not condemn our students who score grade C and below and say that they cannot go to university. Let them go to university, but let us have a proper structured way of taking them forward. If we just do it haphazardly, the people who have worked hard ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I welcome them as well. Lastly, we should encourage the establishment of boarding primary schools in order to get the best out of them. I believe the children who are here from North Imenti will take the message from the National Assembly that it pays to study. It pays to get good grades because their MP is a holder of a Master’s degree and he is going for a PhD. I would want to encourage them to study hard. The school which is here is one of the best in North Imenti. We want ... view
