• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: The teachers who are posted to work in slum schools especially in towns such as Nairobi and Kisumu where life is very expensive should be included in that allowance or even have it enhanced. The life and movement within those slums and most of those areas is hard. They need an enhancement of their hardship allowances to assist them to do their work. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: I thank the President and his administration for agreeing that there is a shortage of teachers. He has begun rolling out in phases 30,000 teachers who are going to be hired in this financial year. I remember, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that you were one of the people who drafted the plan and many charters that included the Education Charter. The President is doing very well by cutting that gap by ensuring that every child has access to education through provision of competent teachers. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: I saw somewhere yesterday from the Ministry of Education that 20,000 learners are yet to join junior secondary school (JSS) Grade seven because the parents are colluding with schools to ensure that those students go to class eight. I thought that under the Ministry of Education, there is National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) and a unique personal identifier that should be used so that if a student is given a personal identification number, they just move from grade seven to junior secondary school. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: The President has formed a task force for this issue of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). I appeal to parents and other stakeholders including teachers that we give the Government and the President’s task force time to come up with radical changes. I confirm to the country that it is affordable. The Constitution is very clear. The CBC will assist in building skills for our children so that they can be people to rely on. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, are you aware that even as we talk today, our children do not know how to make tea, or even light a fire? I doubt if one of the Members collapsed here, we can perform first aid. These are the skills that CBC will come up with. I appeal to the parents to allow the Government to review the CBC and come up with proposals. If there is anything that parents have reservations on the law is very clear on the right for public participation. Therefore, the Ministry of Education should move first and ensure that ... view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: I thank Sen. Munyi Mundigi. He is one of the nuclearatomic Senators in this House. I ask the Senate Majority Leader to be getting him services especially when the Minority Side want to do what is not--- Sen. Munyi Mundigi can be very effective. He brings up live issues. He brought the drought issue. This is the real bottom-up that we have been discussing. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Sen. Munyi Mundigi, you are a valued member of this team. The Senate Majority Leader should organize something every Friday that he passes by his office and ensures he is taken care of. view

• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: I support and congratulate Sen. Munyi Mundigi. I wish Sen. Oketch Gicheru all the best. view
• 15 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion. I thank the Majority Side for bringing this Motion. We agreed that 20 minutes is sufficient for the Mover, the Majority and Minority side, although I can see they are not there. They must be busy with other things and thus betraying the trust of many Kenyans that voted for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for us Senators, it is 15 minutes. It will allow us to coalesce and collate our ideas, so that we can give substantive arguments when we come to speak in the House. I think 15 ... view
