• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I rise to support the ranking of students or schools as far as examinations and other assessments are concerned. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I remember the same Hon. Member who brought this amendment Bill brought a Motion which we passed in this House. I am happy he found out that the powers that be did not take into account what this House decided and, therefore, he came up with a Bill. Once this Bill is made into law, the people who are supposed to actualise or to do what it entails will take action because it will be law. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Again, I am happy that once this Bill is enacted, it will not be a subject for variation if a different Cabinet Secretary comes to office. When the former Education Minister brought these changes, there was a lot of hue and cry. There were many who opposed and others who proposed. He did not take time to give the public a chance to decide on the same. He did it unilaterally and there was a lot of resentment in several quarters. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Even if the Cabinet Secretary issued a circular that they were not going to rank schools, it automatically continued. If you went down to the counties after the examinations, you would find that there are some local newsletters and magazines that rank schools in the counties. If you go to an individual school after exams, you will find that the school ranks the students and has a price giving day. So, it is only at Mtihani House when the results are released by the Cabinet Secretary where they were not doing the ranking. Once they release the results, every Area ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As we have been on recess, I have been to several schools and several education zones presiding over education days and prize giving days. You find many prizes lined for the best student and teacher in a subject. Automatically, this ranking is there with us and we cannot run away from it. When we go to these schools, as leaders, to encourage and motivate the students and the teachers, we promise to do so much for a school that will give us so much. We have been doing it and we are still doing it. You say that a student ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: On the same note, I propose that once we pass this law, the Ministry should structure this ranking system so that it cannot be misused to encourage cheating or to turn students or pupils into only being robots of books. It should not be misused to poach teachers from some schools to others. It should be structured in such a way that it encourages healthy competition among students and schools. There are schools whose students score low marks. Bigger schools like Alliance High School, Mang’u High School, Maseno School and others take the cream of the students who have good ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady for this opportunity. I stand to support. As the Chairman has said, this section is meant to give teeth to Section 3. Thank you. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When the Hon. Member was reading the petitions, I did not hear him read the position of my Petition which I brought to this House on 12th of this month. You referred the same to the Departmental Committee regarding the situation of the road from Maili Tatu to Meru National Park which is in a deplorable condition. Can he tell us why he did not mention it? view
