• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right from the beginning, to me, I think the priorities have not been set out properly. Hydro-power generation in this country would have been the first thing to be done as a priority, along with other things. When you see the hydro-power generating facilities that we have in this country, there are other falls view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to continue from where I left, with regard to this very important Motion that is before the House. Slowly and quietly, this country is creating two categories of education, where the children of the rich and those of the poor go to different schools. From the results of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), pupils from private schools get opportunities to go to the very best secondary schools. After the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), the same students take up the best courses in our public universities. This trend ... view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why is it happening like that? It is because of available resources.

• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues and even the Official Responder from the Ministry of Education. It is loud and clear that this is a worrying trend. We are talking about 99.8 per cent of pupils and students who are in public schools in this country. Kenya is sitting on a time bomb. It is going to be a very serious issue. I am happy that most of the Members have come out very clearly on this issue. I also wish to thank the Member who has moved an amendment. It ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that children attending private academies in the country have continuously taken up most of the opportunities in prestigious national learning institutions and secured the most marketable courses in the universities as a result of high quality education facilities; concerned that public schools lack requisite facilities and manpower to guarantee quality education; appreciating the need to improve education for children from poor backgrounds in order to achieve equity; this House urges the government to increase budgetary allocation to public primary and secondary schools for enhanced quality of education. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in my preamble, I wish to state that during the struggle for Independence, when this country shook off the dust of colonialization and we were born to freedom, the three areas that this country was concerned with was to fight poverty, ignorance and eradicate diseases. However, 46 years after Independence, we are seeing a serious line drawn, dividing the country into two. There are many academies mushrooming in every town or village in this country. The founders of these academies are patriotic Kenyans. The children who are schooling in those academies are the children of the ... view

• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the officers who are in Tirap Division of Marakwet District have stayed there for the last 30 years and there is nothing the Ministry has done to transfer them elsewhere.
