• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Wangari wanted to know more about national schools. As indicated, there are now 103 national schools. According to the selection criteria, as I indicated earlier, in the 2014 selection to Form One, the Ministry picked the top two pupils per county. But this year, the Ministry picked three, going by gender. In this case, therefore, it means that a school which does very well - and this one can also include the concerns of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen Wetangula - when we get such pupils admitted to schools, we are doing it ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: That is why they are complaining. But, there are others who have lower performance than these ones are doing and that is why they must come to the good schools in those provinces which are performing well. That is what it is. With that, I have summarized it. Except for Sen. Musila, where I can state that the money given to Free Primary Education (FPE), it is given to both public primary schools and even special schools. Special schools are given more than the regular public schools and I can confirm that they have been given the money. If you ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can attest that we do not have poor pupils. What we have is poor infrastructure in schools. You will find a student who is in a poorly endowed primary school performing very well when he gets either to a provincial school or a national school. That has been proved. I have even taught, as a teacher, somebody who had scored 200 marks. In the end, he got very high marks. That means that the Ministry should take care of students who cannot afford to go to good primary schools not because of their own making ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many key players in education matters. Education is a very important factor in the country. We cannot blame the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for not putting up enough infrastructure. We should blame the communities if they do not put up good infrastructure. Money is also available under the CDF. That is what we should be looking into. As far as the Government is concerned, there should be equity for all Kenyans. That is why we have to take these students to national schools and extra-county schools. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: The Statement regarding Garbatulla will be available within the week. There are many problems facing that school. We will come up with a comprehensive report. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: I will give the Statement by Thursday, the day after tomorrow. IMMINENT BORDER CONFLICT BETWEEN ISIOLO COUNTY AND MERU COUNTY view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to bring to your attention what I have just seen happen here. When Sen. Kisasa just crossed the Floor to greet Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o very casually without bowing to the Chair. She then canvassed and then crossed back without bowing to the Chair and then walked out. I want you to note that. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to also contribute towards this Motion. This Motion is important, pertinent and is coming at a time when many communities are wondering about their placement, especially after the scramble for boundaries. This is as old as the scramble for boundaries itself, which started in 1895 in a Brussels Conference which was held in Belgium. That was the time when many Europeans came to scramble for African colonies. They came in Africa and they carved out various colonies for themselves, including East Africa which became a protectorate in 1895. After 1895, ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Senators who asked for the Statements are not here today with us. So, what is the way forward? view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: I stay put, Mr. Speaker, Sir? view
