• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is almost similar to what Sen. Murungi had requested. It is about the road from Sagana-Kutus-Kerugoya-Kagumo-Karatina. I would wish that the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation clarifies in the Statement as to what was the time of commencement. Who is the contractor right now? What was the contract sum? How much has been paid, so far, to the contractor and what is the balance? What percentage of the works has been done so far? When will it be completed? view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to issue a Statement. This one concerns the reinstatement of John Njoroge Maina, TSC No.256488. Pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) of the Senate Standing Orders, Sen. Kembi-Gitura, Senator for Murang’a County, requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education, Information and Technology regarding the reinstatement of John Njoroge Maina, TSC No.256488 by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to respond to the specific issues raised by the Senator as follows:- (a) The teacher was accused of having carnal knowledge of the Standard Five pupil. He was invited for the hearing of his case together with witnesses that included the pupil in question. All the witnesses testified against him. He did not challenge their The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that intervention. What this entails is that there is a child in class five and a teacher teaching the same class. What emanated is that the child was defiled by the teacher. Even before the teacher was brought to the TSC for interrogation and further discipline preferred on him, he had already been interdicted by the District Education Officer (DEO) Murang’a County. So, for the TSC it was just to come and verify the facts. I have already stated here that the procedure was duly followed going by the TSC Code, the Laws of ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the situation here is a bit different from what Sen. Wetangula is trying to State here. The teacher was interdicted by the TSC. After that he went to court for an appeal. He was released by the court. Not that he had been there before interdiction. The teacher had already been interdicted. He was interdicted in 2003 when the offence took place. He went to court in 2008. The teacher had to appeal against the decision of the TSC. He was charged with carnal knowledge of a girl in class five. That is what normally happens. There ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suppose the process of an interdiction should be clear to the Senator for Murang’a County, Sen. Kembi-Gitura. The moment a case like this one has been identified by the school administration; the matter is taken to the DEO for further interrogation, which was done. Then from there, the matter is forwarded to the Disciplinary Committee TSC which is formed. If the problem is between the TSC, the KNUT--- view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will allow him. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform Sen. Wetangula that the due process was done. The KNUT came in to save the teacher, but they gave in to the reasons that he had already committed the offence. That is why he was interdicted. From there, according to the laws of Kenya Cap.212 against which the teacher took the matter to court Civil Case No.140, on rape charges, but here the TSC had already charged the teacher on assault and canal knowledge of a girl in Standard Five. So, I concur with Sen. Wetangula. view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my friend Sen. Kembi- Gitura that this is not the first process. We have had quite a number of processes taking place at the TSC. I am not an amateur in education policies. I know a lot about education. This is the due process which takes place and it is already contained in the code of regulations for teachers. In every school you go to, there is a copy of the Code of Teachers Regulations in the staff room. The teachers know what is right and wrong. For that process to get ... view
• 8 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) of the Senate Standing Orders, nominated Sen. Elachi requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Information and Technology regarding the cancellation of 2013 KCSE examination results for Maranda High School. I wish to respond to the specific issues raised by the Senator as follows:- (a) The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) did not rank the school because 23 boys who were doing computer studies colluded. In exercising the powers conferred by the KNEC Act, 2012, the Council has made rules and regulations governing the matters that ... view
