• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas hon. Gitau did not mention hon. Billow, he talked about the person who tabled the documents in the House. He has also stated that the Governor and his wife failed to get an order to supply vegetables. Could he withdraw and apologise to the Governor who cannot defend himself here? view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the head teacher of Olmaroroi Secondary School in Kaptich Location, Kipkaren Division of Mosop Constituency, collects fees from parents but does not issue receipts for the same? (b) Is he further aware that the school does not operate any bank account for school fees collections? (c) How much money in form of school fees has he collected since being posted to the school and how were these funds used? view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I attended a church service adjacent to the school on 11th June, 2006. Many members of the community turned up for the service. The chief and two assistant chiefs of the area were also present. Many parents who have children in the school said that although they pay fees, they are never issued with receipts. That is as far as I can give evidence. But, suffice to say, why does the school not have a board of governors (BOG)? If it is 1558 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 22, 2006 there, could the Assistant Minister tell us who ... view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not a big deal for the Assistant Minister because he does not know how much people suffer. Two audits that I know of have been done. One was done in Moi Sirikwa High School where they discovered that the head teacher there had misappropriated Kshs900,000. I took up the matter with the District Education Board (DEB) because I am a member. The same thing happened at Lelmokwo High School. The audit was done and it turned out that over Kshs500,000 was missing. The teachers who were responsible have just been interdicted. Why were those ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Ketam Primary School in Sigot Location, Kosirai Division and Kipkaren Primary School in Kipkaren Location, Kipkaren Division have not received monies for the years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 to support their Free Primary Education Programmes? (b) Could he ensure that the schools immediately receive their allocations? June 14, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1359 view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minster for her answer. Part "b" of her answer says that the Ministry has initiated the payment process and the stated amounts will be sent to the correct accounts given by the schools. Is that the amount for the 2004/2005 and the 2005/2006 financial years? Those are new schools and I guess that those amounts are the ones for repair and maintenance (RMI) for pit latrines and water tanks. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that the 2004/2005 and the 2005/2006 financial years funds will be sent and not what ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just like Mr. C. Kilonzo has said, before I had brought the Question to this House, I had gone to the Ministry and seen the relevant officers whom I gave the correct account numbers. However, I did not see the need to see the Assistant Minister. Could the Assistant Minister instruct the officers at the District Education Office to appoint an officer to deal with the funds for the Free Primary School Education Programme? This is because many head teachers and committee members sometimes do not know how to handle the transmission of that money. Could ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Vice-President in order to mislead the House that a policy has been made about the shamba system when, in fact, they induced us to pass the Forest Bill by promising that they would allow the shamba system back in place? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to refer to the Ndung'u Report as an authority, when, already a court of law has ruled that the Report is null and void? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe, the Minister should, first, know that the DDCs do not exist under any law. They are not like District Agricultural Committees (DACs) or District Education Boards (DEBs), which have the backing of Acts of Parliament. Nonetheless, is he aware that many of the District Commissioners (DCs) hardly call DDC meetings for hon. June 14, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1324 Members to be able to raise issues like this one? view
