• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also stand to support the amendment by Hon. Ichung’wah. This will go a long way in promoting agriculture in our country. Kenyans are farmers; unfortunately, we do not get a market for our food crops. This will open the market for the same and it will diversify the agricultural industry. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this amendment Bill. Let me also thank my brother, mhe Wangwe, for bringing it to Parliament. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support that the examination fees be waived for all the students who are doing examinations (exams) not necessarily for those who are in public schools, but even for those in private schools. Even if people take their children to private schools because they are able to, when it comes to exams, children in both public and private schools sit the same exams. So, I support the idea ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: best pupils to join the higher levels, but because we have spent a lot of money even on those who dropped from school, we end up not getting enough money to educate the best brains. A lot of brains are thus wasted on the way. Therefore, I strongly support that we get free basic education from Form One to Form Four, and thereafter parents and the Government can invest in specialized education in higher learning institutions. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to raise an issue about the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). We are getting a raw deal from them because they even call upon us to give out a share of the CDF kitty, so that they can extend loans to our children. I do not know how the programme was visualized, but I believe they have their allocation from the Budget, which they should give to needy children. The mistake they are making is that they are not getting the right children who need to get this money. They are giving the money to everybody across the ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), also has its weaknesses. A case in point is where a child misplaces his or her certificates and then he is told that he can only get a replacement after six months, yet the child is supposed to be reporting somewhere the following day. Is it that they do not have a system that can reproduce certificates? Why do they take that long? The organization there is quite analogue. They still have a lot of paperwork. They should try to update their systems in order to assist people as fast as possible. This is ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, let me finish by saying that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) should also look at the shortage and distribution of teachers in this country. You find that most urban schools have got excess staff, because people tend to post their friends, relatives and people they know to where there are good roads, houses and electricity. The marginalized schools with the neediest children in this country do not have teachers, because not many teachers are willing to go to teach in areas where there are no good roads and guaranteed security; this is the current situation in north eastern region. ... view

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the Committee’s proposal to add a paragraph on the promotion of citizen contractors, so that we can promote our people in doing contracts and other businesses in Kenya. This will reduce our dependence on foreigners. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment as it is in the Order Paper because it is specific and not ambiguous. It is also indicating that we are dealing with the Laws of Kenya and, therefore, those other jurisdictions which do not comply with our laws have to be fitted to conform to our Constitution and laws. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to speak to the other one. view
