• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Ministry is throwing pebbles at a tank. It is pretty obvious that there is a discrepancy in the needs of schools, provinces and districts and what they have been provided with. Could the Assistant Minister assure and view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: explain to this House what plans the Ministry has in place to make sure that they alleviate this problem the soonest possible? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister provide the per constituency shortfall of teachers in the country, the respective constituency sizes as well as the respective constituency student populations? (b) Could the Minister also clarify whether the current process of teacher recruitment on contract basis is taking all the factors in (a) above into account? (c) What steps will the Minister take to ensure equity amongst constituencies in the recruitment? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I try to understand the Ministry’s predicament in answering this Question, it is them who said that they will hire teachers per constituency. So, they should have had these facts with them by the time they made that decision. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, the recruitment exercise of these teachers will be finalised by Tuesday. So, in other words, even if they came to answer this Question, it would have been overtaken by events. So, I fear that this is a move to try to avoid answering the Question all together. Yet, this is very crucial. It is an ongoing exercise. If it happens that the Ministry’s hands were tied in this decision, then they should just come out clearly and say that they are not the decision makers on this particular hiring of teachers, rather than going round ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I filed the Question on Monday at exactly 10.00 a.m. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears that there is somebody who is playing mischief. It is unusual to have boundaries between administrative units of Kenya being demarcated by solid walls. This is not normal practice. Would I be in order to request the Assistant Minister to involve the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has a habit of promising things that do not happen. In the previous financial year, he promised that the Turbo-Sikhendu-Endebes Road was going to be in this year’s view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Minister for this time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to congratulate Mr. Kimunya for being appointed the Minister for Transport, and tell him that the new Constitution is actually tailored for people like him. Since he came to Parliament, he has always been a Minister. He is also a technocrat. He now does not need to go through elections to become a Member of Parliament in order to be made a Minister. I have only a few questions to put to the Minister. Why have we left public transport entirely in the hands ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Minister for that good answer. This Question referred to a possibility of 265 deaths. This could be very alarming to the rest of the country. To the medical profession’s knowledge, maybe this may not be the cause of death, but there may be other causes of death related to the jigger problem. Could she ensure that thorough investigations will be made so that we do not have such alarming reports again of deaths being caused by jiggers when we know that the deaths by jiggers could be secondary? ... view
