• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: I am responding to her Statement regarding the mismanagement crisis, the alarming declining academic performance and the rampant theft of Garbatula High School property. The Senator requested the Chairperson of the Committee on Education to clarify:- (a) Whether the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) have plans to overhaul the school’s Board of Governors, which is also called the Board of Management. (b) Explain why the current school principal is still in office despite having attained the retirement age. (c) State and explain disciplinary measures the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and TSC ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Okay. Yes, the Ministry has plans to overhaul the Board and it is in the process. The last executive meeting held on 12th December, 2014, was held to discuss theft of computers and many other things in the school. (b) Garbatula High School was closed in 1990 due to insecurity. Upon reopening, a local head teacher was deployed and so many other heads have been there until the current principal called Mr. Charles Kamau Mbithi, TSC No. 260069, was deployed in May, 2013. Therefore, the current principal is on a three year contract and has been tasked to build and ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, I had sought permission from the Speaker. We had an agreement since the other answers were not forthcoming. I had one which was delivered last week although the Questioner was not in. I wonder whether it is possible to deliver the statement today. The one which is listed is---- view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you for those interventions. Number one, as far as the BOG is concerned, the Government does not consult the locals when it comes to appointments. There is a panel of selectors which comprises of different panelists and not the locals. However, if the locals feel that there is a problem, they have a representative through the Chief and the DEO who should provide leadership in terms of what they would like to have in the Board. The second one is about the teacher. The teacher who is posted there as it has been stated, is on contract. The contract ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will follow it up with the TSC to make sure that the proper head is posted. 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 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a lot about Garbatula and the school is known to have so many problems. One of them is headship which has been wanting for a very long time. We are scouting for a person to head that school. If the hon. Senators have anybody in mind who can head that school, they can bring the names forth through the TSC. I have no problem. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion which is well intended. This Motion was discussed last year. From last year up to now, nothing much has happened. We should learn from China. One time, India wanted to attack China; the Chinese told Indians that they would parade along the border. They marched towards India killing everything that was alive including cockroaches. That is what we should do now. Let us mobilize our people to move to the border and clear everything that is causing us all these problems. We should also create a buffer zone. That is ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me also as the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, to salute Prof. Micere Mugo through what Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o has told this Senate about her. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Prof. Micere Mugo is from Kirinyaga and, therefore, I have a lot of interest to declare. When we hear that she is in that shape, I salute Kirinyaga County for producing such a scholar in the name of Prof. Micere Mugo. She is also the sister to the Kenyan Ambassador in Washington, hon. Njeru Githae, who was with us here last time. view
