• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the report will not take five years to be released. In fact, it is ready. It is being looked into by the Permanent Secretary in the line Ministry. I have a copy of a letter dated 18th September, 2006, which forwarded the report to all the Permanent Secretaries. As soon as they bring out their recommendations to the Government, I am sure the work will go on quickly. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem is not only in Suba District. It is in many districts. In fact, I have a list here, which shows some of the areas where teachers were erroneously paid the hardship allowances. That is because the TSC and KNUT negotiated that arrangement. There are some divisions or locations that are listed as hardship areas in one district, and others are not. For an area to be declared a hardship area, issues like availability of food, water, transport, communication and climatic conditions are taken into account. They vary from area to area. Some teachers ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking for the part which shows when the task force was appointed. It is not taking years and I think that information is not correct. However, the TSC hardship area allowances were revised last year and agreed upon by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), which is the representative organisation of all teachers. What is happening now is the harmonisation of TSC and the Civil Service and it is not taking as long as the hon. Member has suggested. As I said, as recent as September this year, the report was forwarded ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the report should not be coming from the Ministry of Education. I think I have said that before and I cannot keep on answering the same question. I cannot give the specific date as to when the report will be out. However, all the information the hon. Member has is correct. view

• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry has taken the following measures to improve the education of children with disabilities:- Disbursement of grands and grands-in-aid to each special primary school to make the environment for persons with disability friendly. For the last four years, the Ministry has allocated a total of Kshs786 million to all special needs programme in the current Financial Year, 2006/2007. The Ministry will allocate Kshs380 million for the same. In addition to the free primary education fund, the Ministry allocates Kshs2,000 per every disabled child per year in all special primary school ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to say that this programme is not for children with severe disabilities. We still have the special units and schools with special facilities for children with severe disabilities. When the integrated programme was started, we disbursed Kshs10,000 to each primary school to make some disability-friendly changes. However, most children are able to use the normal facilities just like normal children. The most important thing about this programme is that if the disabled children can adopt to normal environment and study with other children, it would be easy for them to ... view
