• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, it is this same Government that gives the allotment letters, but it is the District Education Board members who have to apply for those allotment letters. Apply for it. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this question seeks to interrogate a very serious matter concerning the education of our less fortunate persons. It came to my notice yesterday. I have since established that there were some monies which were allocated but they have not been disbursed. I would like to be given more time so that I can come here with a more comprehensive answer or even, if possible, make sure that the money is allocated. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a week would be good enough. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first I would like to--- view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to, most sincerely, apologize for coming late. I was really struggling to make sure that I have a very adequate explanation and answer to this Question which was deferred yesterday. (a) Yes, I am aware that the Ministry of Education took over 91 mobile schools in the country in 2009, and which included Malka Mansa Mobile School in Tana River District. (b) In the Financial Year 2009/2010, the Ministry disbursed a total of Kshs195,000 to cater for instructional materials and teachers’ salaries. However, the money was not credited to the school account ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully agree with the hon. Member that, that is definitely a failure on the officers responsible because the correct account was submitted in June this year and money should have been credited immediately thereafter. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry upon getting enough funds will be pleased to increase the number of mobile schools because this will definitely create more access to education by our children. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realize the constraints that we have that are mainly financial. So, with more finances, we will definitely establish more schools. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, the money was not diverted to other accounts. It is just that officers did not act. Immediately after they got the new accounts, they would have acted by posting money into the correct accounts. However, they did not do so. The money had been lying in the Ministry instead of being sent to the correct accounts as required. So, we, as a Ministry, are taking measures against those officers who failed to act. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to correct that position. That is not true. I have told the hon. Member that between yesterday and today, I have struggled to make sure that the funds for 2009/2010 Financial Year as well as the 2010/2011 Financial Years have been remitted. This is from yesterday, so it cannot be in the account today. Please, give us two to three days. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter came to my attention this afternoon and it touches on a very fundamental right of the people of this Republic. When somebody does work, he should be paid. The answer supplied by my officers is totally unsatisfactory. I plead for more time so that I can bring a concrete answer tomorrow in the afternoon so that noble citizens can be paid their money. view
