• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: If all of us support this amendment Bill, we will see transparency and accountability. There will be no NGO operating without the public knowing what it does. This is bearing in mind that we have very many handbag NGOs that people do not know what they do in our country. If this Bill gets operationalized, it will be easy to know what each NGO, Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and other sectors do so that we can create harmony. Instead of duplicating roles, we will appreciate and complement each other so that we grow together as a sector and as a ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill was passed in 2013 and up to now it is not in operation. Very many things are at stake because people are not sure of what they are supposed to do. This will enhance the formation, operation and the growth of the Public Benefits Organisations (PBOs). These institutions have the framework within which they are supposed to perform or conduct their affairs so that we know what they are doing. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The legal regulatory systems will ensure that they have strengthened the civil society which will promote the social welfare and improve the standards of living of the people within which these organisations work. To delay this Bill is to delay maintaining the high standards that are needed for effective self-regulation of this sector. If we need them to be compliant, we need to ensure that all the legal obligations are in place and are working. Imagine the only thing that is required of the Cabinet Secretary is just gazettement; to gazette and ensure all things are in place. It has ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is high time we all ensured that this works because it has come a long way from 2013. Remember that there are other Acts of Parliament that have been passed and are lying on the shelves. This should be a wakeup call to all Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) who have been given the mandate to ensure that what has been passed by Parliament should be implemented immediately. The way forward should be for the Committee on Implementation, through a framework, to ensure that we make a follow up of all the Acts to make them operational in ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. I stand to support this Bill by saying that there are so many things that made us to do away with ranking of schools after exams. When we again talk about ranking, it means that what made us to say no to ranking is going to be addressed. I hope that we are now going to have categories of ranking of schools. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Where I come from, we have national, county and district schools. But when it comes to ranking, you find that there is no separation. We rank them jointly, knowing very well that some schools lack many facilities which make them not to perform like national schools. Furthermore, the teachers in those schools are not the same. Government district schools do not have enough teachers. Most of them are employed by Board of Governors (BOG) and what they are paid to enable them to work properly and ensure that students pass examinations is wanting. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: If we are going to rank schools fairly, we need to ensure that all of them have Government teachers who are equally paid, are determined to work and change the lives of students. When I was in school, I went up to Form Four. After that, there were those who made it to the university and others joined Government diploma colleges. Those who did not go to Form Five and Six went to primary teachers colleges and community nursing. There was ranking that could sieve people. That criterion is no longer there. You find that after students do their Form ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We need to look for a way of closing that gap so that there are intermediary colleges and a good criterion is put in place to ensure that students go to those colleges and serve the community. I believe that ranking raises the morale of teachers and students regardless of negative issues. Also, we have departments in schools like science and humanities and teachers from various schools come together and come up with ways in which they can better the students’ performance in those particular subjects. But without ranking, I no longer see those departments coming together and having conferences ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, ranking will ensure that teachers are committed, determined and measured because they will have to prove they are good in various subjects. Teachers who do well will be respected and promotion will be evident. In local schools, teachers stay there for ages and students do not perform. Remember that students who join local schools are those who did not perform well and were not admitted to national, provincial or county schools. They, therefore, attend those local day schools. How then are they going to be ranked? That is why we need to have criteria of ranking our schools. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
