• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are no Quality Assurance and Standards Officers in 12 zones in Samburu District.

Once the exercise is over, and the results released, the officers will be posted to fill the vacant positions in the country. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the consultations are very loud! view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I admitted, we have a shortage of Quality Assurance and Standards Officers. This came about because the only source of these officers is the serving staff. When the teachers' salaries were adjusted, under the Teachers Service Commission, and became higher than those of the officers from the Public Service Commission, 1934 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 11, 2006 many of them opted to remain teaching. This is because they were offered the opportunity to choose. That is why some of the TAC tutors, as the hon. Member says, have been reduced to do supervisory jobs. However, ... view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. However, I do want to add here that all those teachers, including the P1 teachers, have been given in-service training to be able to carry out the responsibility of the TAC tutors. However, that is about to come to an end very shortly. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is outside the Question. I did not come prepared with that information. As I said, the lowest job group for this position will be "M." That means many serving teachers will be attracted to apply for these positions because the salaries of civil servants have been improved also. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have given the House the number of TAC tutors who will be recruited. We hope that, that number will be enough to go round the country. We requested the Directorate of Personnel Management (DPM) to allow the Ministry to recruit more, but we were allowed to recruit 678 TAC tutors. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry will look into that matter when it arises. Those teachers are already on a certain Job Group. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Taru Secondary School is being relocated to a new site about 3 kilometres away from the current location. (b) China Road and Bridge Construction Company which was awarded the tender to rehabilitate Maji ya Chumvi-Miritini Road will meet the cost of the construction of the new school. Provincial Works Officer, Coast Province, is still working on the design and Bill of Quantities and the cost of construction of the school will be known when that is completed. (c) The stakeholders, including the BOG, PTA, local leaders and the ... view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the money has already been set aside. Rehabilitation of the road to Mombasa is also a development matter of importance which must be finished. The two projects are being dealt with side by side. The money has been set aside. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a letter here from the Ministry of Roads and Public Works addressed to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, giving an assurance that, that money has been set aside and that the builders will sprinkle some water to keep the dust down. I also have a copy of the letter written to ... view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that process is going on. The school is being relocated. We have all agreed that the road to Mombasa also needs to be completed. If we put construction of this 1768 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 4, 2006 road on hold, I think users of that road will suffer. Every care is being taken to ensure that the children do not suffer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I assure this House and the parents that the matter is being taken care of in consultation with the BOG. view
