• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Poverty also plays a key role. There are few students in our schools who are able to influence others through giving them money and, by extension, they end up performing bad acts. Financial mismanagement in our schools is an issue. So, as a Committee, we propose that prudent financial management skills should be embraced by all schools. Our sponsors need to play their roles well. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: The Education Act needs to be reviewed to address the many emerging issues in the education sector, including spelling out clear roles of the various stakeholders, in particular those of the sponsors.

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to the Assistant Minister giving an answer to this Question, it pains to note that we have over 168 untrained teachers in Bureti Constituency, dealing with ECD and yet, the Ministry has confirmed that its main role is to ensure quality. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before the intervention by 2010, how many inspectors do you have and how do you ensure that there is quality education being given? What is the minimum qualifications of an ECD teacher? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was not asking for specifics. What is happening in this country is that we have inspectors and quality assurance officers in our districts. But they are not, at the moment, dealing directly with ECD. Could you confirm that?
