• 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

• 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

• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I support the amendment, which will give more teeth to this Bill. Once we amend Clauses 11(3) and 69, we will achieve two main goals in ensuring that this Bill is in conformity with the Constitution. This is especially in the devolved part and to strengthen the planned genetic resource center. This Committee will play a vital role in trying to see how we can explore more on indigenous plants and seeds, which have been overridden by exotic plants and seeds that have been ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Bill once it is passed. It is believed that miraa has medicinal value and no research has proved that it is a drug. I want to thank the President for finding it necessary to assent to that Bill so that more can be done to protect miraa which is the source of livelihoods of the people of Nyambene especially in Igembe. This Bill is timely. I support. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion and thank Hon. Ottichilo for bringing it. It is almost in tandem with the one we have just concluded under Order No.10. I will say precisely and clearly that a clean environment is the way of life. A clean environment gives a nation a clean bill of health and the environment is protected. Here in Kenya, there is culture of not minding where we litter or throw rubbish. We do not care about the environment. You find somebody walking over a heap of garbage ... view
