• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, I require that. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the advantage of ranking is motivation and healthy competition. I am urging this House to support this Motion so that next year, when we have the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, we can revert to the ranking system that has been there. We do not want our children to be demotivated. As I speak, I can see there are students here today. I am sure they are here because they knew this Motion was on the Order Paper. I want to assure all stakeholders that Parliament ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: know, so that we can have the ranking system back. In our education sector, at the end of the term, you expect to have a report card for your child. One of the critical pieces of information that you get from the report card is that your child is being ranked. You are told which subjects he or she has done well, and which ones he or she has not done well in. Prof. Kaimenyi had earlier mentioned that we are trying to compare the incomparable. We have national and district schools and it is very clear that ranking can ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I do not need information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can move forward and then he will have a chance to contribute. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Member will be given a chance to contribute. This is a very critical issue that will help us in terms of improvement of performance. I am mentioning the issue of ranking and once you look at the schools which have performed poorly, you will identify the challenges that those schools are facing. It will be a very critical basis for one to use in terms of allocation of resources. If a school is not doing well in science subjects, maybe, the problem is lack of a laboratory. So, you can allocate CDF funds for the ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I move and request hon. Limo to second. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I would like to thank hon. Chepkong’a, as the Chair, and his Committee; for work well done. This House is not a rubberstamp. The product of a fraudulent process is also fraudulent. Therefore, there is no way we can accept Dr. Kabue’s nomination, however qualified he is. Qualification is not just academic; it also has something to do with personal attributes. For instance, issues like attitude. We are having serious problems in this House because some Committee Chairpersons have attitude problems, despite their strong academic qualifications. ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: questions. I symphathise with the disabled people but when it comes to integrity we cannot entertain this issue. So, I am humbly requesting Members that we pass this unanimously and reject Dr. Kabue because it is a fraudulent product out of a fraudulent process. Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support the recommendation of the Committee. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee, under the leadership of hon. Musyimi, for working so hard within that short timeframe to come up with this Paper. The timelines given in the Budget cycle are so brief. We realise even Departmental Committees were only given very few weeks. Some of them were doing the work in a rush. Later on, we should propose amendments so that enough time is given to the Committee starting from the Departmental Committees and even the time that they are going to present this matter ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that even as this Budget Policy Statement (BPS) comes, we do not have any feedback on the previous achievements. We do not know what happened previously. Again, we had indicated several times that as this BPS comes, we need to have some verifiable indicators so that we can establish what was done. It is very critical and because many other hon. Members have mentioned something about these key critical issues, I do not want to repeat but more importantly the extra Ksh1 billion and the Ksh750 million in the Office of the Auditor-General enhancement is a wonderful ... view
