• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I do not have much to say. I thank the Committee because this Bill has been long overdue. As I conclude, there is 10,000 kilometres of road which the Jubilee Government promised put tarmac. We need to have a clear framework because it will be very unfortunate if these roads are being skewed to suit the Jubilee supporters’ zones. For example, in Trans Nzoia County, we have clear big roads that go towards Mt. Elgon. When it rains, it is totally impassable. As the allocation is being done, it should not be done in a way that allows more projects ... view

• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give the following Petition on the ban of prayer days of candidates of public school by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education, Science and Technology. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I, the undersigned, on behalf of the parents and guardians from Trans Nzoia County draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, prayer days in schools serve a vital role in promoting not only virtuous living among student but also good living citizenship; THAT, the removal of prayer days from our schools by the CS for Education, Science and Technology is a violation of Article 32(2) of the Constitution of Kenya that guarantees the freedom of worship and religion; THAT, forbidding candidates, teachers and parents to do what their predecessors have been doing would demoralise, discourage and de-motivate ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Kenya National Examination Council (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.1 of 2016 be now read a Second Time. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Ranking is done everywhere even in the animal kingdom. Even when it comes to politics, when we go for our elections, we are always ranked in terms of who is number one, two or three, so that number one is declared the winner. Earlier on, we had a provision where the KNEC was ranking schools in terms of their performance. Article 35 of the Constitution gives a provision that every Kenyan has a right to information that is held by the State. Sometimes back, Professor Kaimenyi came up with the issue of banning ranking of schools and this has put ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: bring out the aspect of accountability. When we do not know who is handling which issue, people will be hiding. We need to have accountability and rank schools, so that we can reward those who have done well. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has introduced performance contract for teachers. How will you evaluate the teachers yet we do not even know their performance? This Bill focuses on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), namely, the Standard Eight and Form Four examinations. Schedule Four of the Constitution states that matters to do ... view

Lisamula of Shinyalu, Hon. Shakeel Shabir, Hon. Washiali and the professor. They will have one minute each before I reply. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to respond. I want to thank hon. Members who have contributed to this Bill and those who have had concerns, for instance, people from marginalised communities. That is why this Bill is specifically talking about structured ranking. We are going to have different strata depending on different circumstances. National schools cannot be ranked together with the county schools because they have different circumstances. That has to be taken care of. Ranking has been there since time immemorial because scholars like Abraham Maslow had hierarchy of needs; physiological, safety, love, esteem and self ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the Chairperson’s rejection because in practice, it is obvious that when you give a definition of a word, you must have used that particular word. In this case, if the term “wetland” is not mentioned anywhere in this Water Bill, then it does not have to be introduced or defined. I support the rejection. view
