• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: of the Task Force on Student Discipline and Unrest in Secondary Schools in 2001, chaired by a current member of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), who by then was the Director of Education, Naomi Wangai, which was presented by the then Minister for Education, Henry Kosgey. In Recommendation 24, the report says that the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) should stop ranking of schools. The reason given was that ranking of schools--- view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Washiali is still doing sugar business. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: He did it on Cheche the whole morning and now he is transferring the same to the Chamber. The reason against ranking as given by the taskforce was that ranking of schools in accordance with performance in the national examinations causes teachers to be preoccupied with testing and examination at the expense of character molding. In 2008, in this House and I was a Member, there was indiscipline in schools. The Committee on Education led by hon. David Koech did an inquiry into student unrest and strikes in secondary schools. You will remember that there were strikes. That Parliamentary Committee ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thirdly, teachers go the extra mile to cheat, so that they appear on top. We must find another way. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: You can say hapana, but that is unparliamentary. Hon. Speaker, there is someone who is fighting here. That is not the way to do it in Parliament. In Parliament, you wait for your chance and then you counter. This is a policy based on evidence from seven commissions whose expenses were paid by the taxpayers. This House urges the Government to make sure that education is for equity and for all children. The children of Garissa, Homa Bay and Bondo cannot be compared with the children in Makini and Riara. I beg to oppose. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is very unfortunate--- view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to ask the House and Kenyans to forgive us this afternoon, because we are not conversant with our own procedures and Standing Orders. Hon. Musimba is my very good friend. We were friends even before he joined Parliament. The person he wants to name is not a Member of this House. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, please allow me to talk. We are not in a market. He is not just a Member of this House. The Constitution has provided the procedures through which you can bring a Motion of no confidence in the leadership of the Speaker after you follow the roadmap and the requirements provided in the Constitution. To help our Member further, I can tell this House without any fear of contradiction that the Speaker will approve that Motion, if you follow the right procedure. In fact, he will not be on the Chair on the day we will be debating ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support the Motion. Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Minority Party is a happy man. He has to make full disclosure because this nominee comes from his county. When another Kenyan’s name is brought to this House for approval, never again will he say that Government jobs in this country are meant for two communities. Today I confirm that the Government has given a job to a Kenyan from Kitui County, an opposition stronghold. That confirms that the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta is a Government for all Kenyans. As I support, in very few ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: You must say under which Standing Order (SO) you are raising the point of order. Hon. Speaker, my concern is that Kenya is going through a democratic process. We have a very young skilled labour force. My father-in-law is a general, who retired in 1996. Gen. Mohamed has a very strong role to play. Generals should join Gen. Tonje, Gen. Kibwana and all the others who have retired. We should not bring back generals to active duty. In Western democracies like the United States of America and the United Kingdom, generals become lecturers. They become consultants and defence analysts. They ... view
