• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: take them seriously until you get to the extent where you get some religious cultures or beliefs that do not take children to hospital and decide to pray for them. All these things destroy children’s foundation. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We also have another problem here in Kenya where education has been segmented and the nursery level is left to the counties in terms of infrastructure and employment of teachers. Then we have primary, secondary, tertiary and universities under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. I have a personal experience. If you go to some schools, you find that the nursery school teacher is the head of the classroom or the two nursery school classes and the head teacher of the primary is for Standard One to Standard Eight. These conflicting or clashing interests of operations make learning of ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: County governments have been charged with putting up classrooms for nursery schools while the NG-CDF does the other things. You find that county governments have done very little in putting up classrooms and the most vulnerable nursery school children are in the worst classes in schools. The upper classes pupils are in the best classes. It should be the opposite. The small child is left vulnerable to pneumonia and other dirt-related diseases. Learning becomes very difficult because of the poor infrastructure and the general poor learning conditions. There is also the issue of the teachers who teach these children. The ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Point noted, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will take the minimum time possible. I commend the President for coming up with this State of the Nation Address, especially on security. He went out of his way to spell out almost each and every sphere of this country and where we need to address. He has done his constitutional job. Unfortunately, when this information comes to the public domain or for implementation, it is the implementing machinery of this country that has failed this country. At the end of the day, we end up in blame game. We end up in blaming ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. As has been mentioned by the Mover, this Bill seeks to amend several existing Acts which were enacted a long time ago. It is a document which seeks to enrich the existing laws. I believe laws should be changed once in a while because some of them are normally overtaken by events, given the changing times and trends. In that case, it is important to do away with irrelevant laws or amend them so that they can conform to the constitutional demands. The Bill is meant ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: they are sick. Some of them have even died out there. It is hard for them to plead for support from their country. They do not have air tickets to get back home. They end up languishing in poverty in foreign countries. There should be funds for bringing back victims of such circumstances, and even taking them to hospital in case they need medical attention. Any assistance required should be easily provided. There are agents who lie to our youth that they will connect them to lucrative jobs, but they end up there as house girls. Some have even been ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First and foremost, let me thank my colleague, Hon. Sang, for having thought about it and brought it to this House. I also thank the members who have talked before me because they have been supporting the Bill. I have also stood up to support the same. Clinical officers are known to be the call of our medical practitioners. They are known deep in the villages. Many people do not know they are called clinical officers. They call them doctors in the villages and ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: they are given the job, they mess around and do not do the correct thing. They should, therefore, be vetted properly and an in-house examination administered to determine whether they are qualified for the job. This will get rid of quacks and save us the fear of getting somebody being treated by an unqualified medical practitioner. On the issue of inspection of premises, if you go to the countryside, you will find that clinics have been opened somewhere. The conditions of those clinics are filthy and do not qualify to be clinics. This is the case and yet you will ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Most of these clinical officers come from KMTC. The KMTC are not well equipped, particularly those in smaller towns in this country. We need more funding for these important institutions. We need more clinical officers than doctors. Some of the communicable diseases we have end at that level. Let us get proper facilities for the training of these very important members of our society. The clinical officers also need continuous retraining. As it has been said before, new diseases emerge every other day. Some of them are so complicated that they can beat the reasoning of many doctors, such as ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the proposal by the Vice-Chairman of the Committee. PTAs are very important organisations in learning institutions. Their composition should be all inclusive. All stakeholders should be involved in getting these PTAs. It is because they are the people who run and, own the schools. view
