• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: (ii) 16 were on the average and one had no certificate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, 93 applicants were succesful just by their mean grade. However as stated above, some did not have the requisite qualifications in the subjects that were specific even though they scored mean grade B. (b) Applying equitable distribution by divisions, the following applicants were shortlisted from the district out of the 93 who were successful - I have listed the ID numbers and the hon. Member has them - Peter Karuga Wangui, Nduta Kimani, Simon Waithuguri Kimani, Boniface Kuria Njuguna, Martin Gitonga Kariuki, Anthony Warama Mureithi, ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, the whole area was under Thika District. When the identity cards were given at that time, there was no specific division. I have already given the hon. Member the ID numbers. So, the recruiting officers went by the ID cards. Therefore, the two people who were selected; Anthony Warama Mureithi and Frankline Muriithi Kinyua though not specifically stated that they come from Gatundu, come from Thika District. Therefore, it was assumed that they come from Gatundu Division because as I said, we apply equitable distribution by divisions. Therefore, these two in our ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not avoided answering any question. I think I made it very clear that out of the over 20,000 applications that were received, it would be impossible to come and give the reason why each specific person was rejected. Hon. Members will agree with me that when you want about five applicants and you have 25 of them, the focus is to select the best out of the records. I have already said we had 93 applicants. Out of these 93, we specifically went into details about each one of them. I have already said ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member’s concern is appreciated. However, the exercise has already been done. I can only undertake to ensure that his concern is taken into consideration while setting recruitment dates in future. We will make sure we do not have recruitment carried out during the month of Ramadhan. For now, it will be difficult to reverse the ongoing exercise, which is very lengthy, very expensive and covering a wide area. All I can do for now is to undertake that we will not repeat this. I really appreciate what he has said. It is, probably, an ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that recruitment is going to take place in the new Gatundu District. As hon. Members have seen in our advertisement, every district is covered. I want to assure hon. Members that the exercise is strictly being observed by all stakeholders, including civil society organisations and the Ethnics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to make sure that it is transparent. I also want hon. Members to appreciate that when we recruit, we pick the best. All efforts will be made to ensure that we get the best, and that every part ... view
• 26 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. On the outset, I would like to say that I support the Bill and equally congratulate the Minister for a job well done. The best thing that ever happened to the teaching profession is making the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) a constitutional body. In this respect, I would like to say that the Parliamentary Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution is the unsung hero in this case. This is because it is that Committee, I recall, in Naivasha that ensured that the TSC was made a constitutional body. ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the concerns by hon. Members in as far as the point raised by hon. Mbadi are legitimate and understandable. Nevertheless, we have got to realize that in any transition, there are teething problems. The budgeting process that we have been using has been in this country for over 100 years. It is only reasonable that we should expect some teething problems. This is one of the cases. But we do recognize that there are some problems. Nevertheless, we ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I quite agree. I never, for once, said that the hon. Members who are opposed want the Government to shut down. I never said that. In fact, I said that Members have legitimate concerns. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is so important that we move on, especially after your very wise ruling that we proceed. I think we are on the right track and the Minister has given an undertaking that he will ensure that this is not repeated and that, come next year, the teething problems that we have experienced during the last two years ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not know what he is going to say. But I clearly saw him nodding and smiling in agreement with what I was saying. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just emphasizing the importance of us approving the Vote on Account in order for the Minister to release funds for the very important projects that we need. For example, I mentioned about roads, rural electrification and of importance also, is CDF. We need those funds quickly as the hon. Issac Ruto has said, so that we can finish the on-going programmes. I want to correct ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have called out many Questions and hon. Members are not here. You are aware that many times fire has been thrown on the side of Government. Is it not right that at this juncture, you caution hon. Members to be in the House to ask Questions? view
