• 18 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It was very effective today when we had the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology. Apart from the Statements that had been sought, more were also put across on the Floor of the House. I think the issue of responses is becoming a real problem in this House. It is putting our chairpersons in situations where they have to do other many things but they cannot do them effectively. As Sen. Haji said, if you have to follow up on somebody twice or thrice, it takes a lot of time. I have seen in ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that the prime purpose of devolution in Kenya is to decentralize and transfer functions, resources and power to the county level of government in order to promote participatory democracy and sustainable development for the benefit of all Kenyans, concerned that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology still upholds the historical classification of schools into national, county and district schools; concerned that such categorization has implication in terms of funding, administration and eventually academic performance and that it limits choices and admissions of students to Form One, appreciating that in ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I referred to Maseno as the only national school that was there before the new national schools came into place, but I am aware that more national schools have now been added. Even in the other regions that I mentioned in north eastern, coast and eastern, they now have national schools. Before 2000 when the classification had not been put into place, we did not have national schools in those regions. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. Let me start by thanking the Senators very sincerely for their well thought out and very constructive contributions. I know that from the outset, the Motion was a little bit mixed. Therefore, it is right that it has elicited different sort of interpretations to the intention. Nevertheless, I could also see that the intention finally was coming out clearly. For us, what we are all saying is that we want to have schools that are well equipped in terms of infrastructure - libraries, workshops – and in terms ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to take this opportunity also to welcome both the delegations from Morocco and Tanzania. Indeed, it is a wonderful opportunity that we could have this visit by a delegation from Morocco; a delegation from Kenya having had a chance to go there. We can actually see what we have in common and what lessons we can learn from each other, especially as we continue to forge stronger bilateral relationships. Mr. Speaker, Sir, both Kenya and Morocco have a lot in common in terms of certain sectors, specifically tourism and agriculture. Through the dialogue ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think a very good--- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think it is very unfortunate that what the Committee on Education intended to do has ended up being misrepresented. One, when we set off for the so-called “misadventure,” it was on a very serious motion. This was a dynamic situation that had happened. Unlike many of the Statements that we seek on the Floor of this House regarding policy and status quo, a riot had taken place in a university and we did not know what the circumstances were. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is talking about evidence; and we collected evidence. We went ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: I think we have Statements because we have looked at the report. What needs to happen is for those Statements to be derived from the report; specifically Statements to answer the key questions that were asked within the House. But the answers for the questions that were sought are within that report. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to insinuate that Kenyan women get excited when they are pinched? Is this the way of loving and communicating to Kenyan women? Could the Senator substantiate or withdraw? view
