  • 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for an opportunity to also support this Motion. Where I come from, there are so many problems which my people are facing and they need assistance. I thank Hon. Mwinyi for this Motion. It is going to make P3 Forms free. The notion in the minds of the people is that the P3 Forms are charged. Accessing these forms from the police stations has been an issue. The questions asked to the people who need these forms are wanting. A specific example is that of people who have been assaulted and mostly rape victims. ... view
  • 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to also add my voice to this Bill which has come at the right time. I am supposed to congratulate the Hon. Odanga, for what he has done. We have been seeing very many bad things happen to the community, parents and schools in the country. Deployment of chaplains to schools is important. This should have been done yesterday so that the wellbeing of students is taken care of. Students are not only in school to gain book knowledge but also other skills so that they become all round. They should ... view
  • 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: for chaplains to interact and mingle with students. You understand the competition among schools that has led to schools wanting students to read from morning until evening. Even going for games is unheard of. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there should be time for chaplains to interact with students so that they can know what they are going through. It is actually a chaplain who can pass information to the teaching fraternity on what students need. There are students who could be in need of something but it is very hard for teachers to know this. However, for a chaplain whose ... view
  • 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The qualifications referred to in the Motion are good and if we go as per what the Motion says, we will go somewhere. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. Thank you. view
  • 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. It is a very timely Bill because devolution has been in place for four years. We should ensure that early childhood education is instituted in all our regions because this is the foundation for our children. We have talked about quality and well facilitated institutions within the counties. In my county, most schools are in the urban areas. Schools are not in the rural areas. In urban areas, children come from ECDE institutions and join other schools through an interview. However, in ... view
  • 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The Bill has come at the right time because it will bring sanity that has been lacking for a long time. The ECDE teachers are all over. Most of them have done certificate courses while others have done diploma and degree courses. But the salary they are given is wanting. I do not know the criteria we will use to ensure that the nursery school teachers get well paid because they need to be motivated. If we talk of the children being given incentives to go to school, then the people who are taking care of them are also supposed ... view
  • 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: There is also another issue that has been going on for a long time. We have been seeing the NG-CDF building schools. There has been a tug of war or a blame game on who is supposed to build the ECDE centres. It will come out very clearly that this is a function of the county governments. They have to ensure that there are enough ECDE institutions within the counties The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: and make sure that teachers are well paid to ensure that the quality of education for the youngsters is high. I will also talk about special need cases in our counties. In Nyamira County, there are very few centres for children with special needs and, therefore they travel very far. The physically challenged students have to go to Joyland in Kisumu because such institutions are not in Nyamira County. We have a few which deal with those with mental conditions, but they are not well equipped. This is where we need to ensure that there are teachers who will take ... view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Public Benefits Organisations (Amendment) Bill that has been brought by Hon. Neto. This Bill is going to do a lot bearing in mind that we all realise what the sector does for Kenyans. It is a sector that has actually promoted social welfare of the people of Kenya and has improved the conditions and the quality of lives of Kenyans. view
  • 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The sector has employed very many people and handles a lot of money. This means that it has to be regulated and streamlined. It is a sector that needs to be clear to every Kenyan so that we can all engage in all these activities to grow socially, be socially active and be felt. view
