Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me first to condemn the killings that happened in Wajir East and also condole with the family and friends of those who lost their lives.

I can tell the House that the killings were not done in the name of Islam. We cannot debate as Members here that we will take some Kenyans out of parts of Kenya. I was with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government in Wajir on Tuesday this week. The Cabinet Secretary declared that Wajir was a peaceful place and that, that was one isolated incident. The same group attacked the Westgate Mall and we did not close all our supermarkets. The other day, a school in the United States of America was attacked and although President ...

The most important thing is that we do a reality check. I support to the extent that we train more teachers for the people of northern Kenya. But what do we do? First, we need to understand the problem. That incident happened just at the border of Somalia. My constituency is 500 kilometres away and teachers have run away from that constituency simply because they wanted to come to this side. There is no single incident of an

attack that has happened in Wajir West, Eldas or Wajir North since the time we heard of the name “ Al Shabaab .” Why are teachers running away from those areas? Is it not good that we carry out due diligence? Why are those teachers honourable? Should we take the local teachers in those areas to those zones and take the non-local teachers to areas where we think they are safe? I oppose this Motion and ask the Mover of this Motion and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to convene an urgent meeting where we ...

As my friend said, Article 237 of the Constitution says that TSC cannot employ untrained teachers. How do we debate here and say that we are urging the TSC to employ untrained teachers unless you are talking of constitutional amendments. The Mover of this Motion is a stakeholder in this. We can meet as stakeholders and agree on a most suitable way to save lives and the future of ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not expect that my first time to contribute in this House would be on donated time. I waited for that moment. Allow me to send my message of condolence to the people of Kitui West, the family and friends of Hon. Francis Nyenze who has just passed on. My constituency is 95 per cent desert. The Kenya Forest Service has not even told us the right trees to be planted. We need to have a soil analysis done on all regions and constituencies so that we know what type of trees to ...
