• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before we went on recess, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo had requested for a Statement from me and my Committee on Education relating to the management of Moi University and University of Eldoret which had been closed indefinitely. I was supposed to inform the Senate of the following issues:- (1) The circumstances that led to the closure of the only public institution of higher learning in the North Rift. (2) What has the Ministry of Education Science and Technology has done to ensure normalcy returns to the University of Eldoret, which has been faced with challenges related ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would appeal to anybody who has additional information to the report to forward it to the Committee. But what has already been tabled is a report on the disturbances at Moi University, which was compiled by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and not the one on The University of Eldoret. The report on The University of Eldoret will be tabled next week. What we are yet to table is the report that Sen. Sang is alluding to. If he is a Member of the Committee and accompanied us, he should be very useful in ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, the management of the university is led by the Vice Chancellor and her team of administrators who are charged with the responsibility of running the university. The micromanagement of the university is not the responsibility of anybody else apart from the said management team and people who are employed to do that job. There is also the University Council and the Senate which ensures that the university runs smoothly. Those are the people who are charged with the responsibility of running the universities in the entire Republic. I would, therefore, ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to give a Statement sought by Sen. Abdirahman. The Statement is with regard to the ongoing teachers strike. I thought that yesterday we had a whole afternoon devoted to debate on this issue, and I do not know whether it will be prudent for me to continue to issue this Statement. view

Abdirahman requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee 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
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will attempt to respond to most of those concerns. As you were trying to seek more information, a school delegation came in here and they were seated behind you dressed in uniform meaning there is learning going on. view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am also concerned with the plight of teachers. I was a teacher. I was a victim of what happened in 1997 when the then President agreed to pay teachers that time. Those teachers who retired in 1997 have not been paid although there is a court order. We need to find out what exactly is happening. In my statement, I said that the Ministry has so far held a series of consultative meetings with the Cabinet Secretaries of various Ministries. Consultations are still going on and it is my hope that one of these days, ... view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Omondi in order to mislead this House when she can see what is in the gallery? The students are from schools. In the statement sought, it had nothing to do with definition of public or private school. Learning is going on partially in some schools in this country. view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I indulge the Chair for more time so that--- view
• 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, following what I have heard from various Senators, and also from what I had indicated the day that I requested to be given the two weeks, we are going back to the same position that more time will be required. In any case, two rulings were made; one on 22nd and another one on 25th August, 2015 by the Supreme Court. We need to wait for the two rulings before we make further comments on this issue. I appeal to you. view
