• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: In some parts of this country, if a child scores 200 marks out of 500 marks, he or she is a bright student. That is according to me. That is because of what hon. Wario has just said. Some students go to school under very difficult circumstances. If they can pull themselves and score 200 marks out of 500 marks, they should be considered as bright pupils. I think the focus should be on poor students. There should be no much ado about bright students. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should be planning 100 per cent for students from primary schools who join secondary school due to the free primary school education. That is why, as we prepare the data bank, the Government should be informed that we need to up our allocation for bursaries for the graduation of children from primary school to secondary school, to ensure that every one who gets a chance to join secondary school is able to carry on with education from Form I to Form IV without any break. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The problem we have in every sector in this country is that of exclusion, where some people get while others do not get. It starts very early; as early as primary school where some children get fees while others do not get. The same case applies to secondary schools. At the university, some students get help while others do not. I think we must have a system that includes everybody, wherever the apportioning of public resources arises. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this very important Bill. This is the very first Appropriation Bill for the 11th Parliament. We are very ambitious, but I am happy we have got to the level where we are today. This has been a very participatory process from the Budget-making stage, through the consultations that we have had within the Committees to the Budget and Appropriations Committee process of coming up with this Bill. I wish to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the work well done, being flexible and responding to, not only ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am a youth and I want to make it very clear to the youth of this country that money has been allocated in this Bill today. This money will only make impact on the lives of the youth if the youths stop crying and do what is necessary. They must form companies and have entities that will enable them access these funds. They will not access these funds by going empty handed and saying that they are youths and therefore, they need this money. I want to advise the youth. If you look at D116, there is a lot ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that there is an acute and gross shortage of clinical officers and nurses in our hospitals, health centres and dispensaries, which in turn is severely limiting access by Kenyans to basic health care; deeply concerned that most Kenyans continue losing their lives to curable and easily manageable ailments; further concerned that public resources, especially the CDF, have been used to develop a number of facilities which remain non-operational due to lack of personnel; taking into account the need to meet the constitutional right of every Kenyan ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is one of the 57 countries globally, and 36 in sub-Saharan Africa, with critical shortage of health workers. For every 1,500 citizens in this country, there are only 2.5 clinical officers and 2.5 nurses. This is a dire situation in respect of which this House must take serious action to ensure that it is addressed. Records show that Kenya has 1.12 nurses per 1,000 people and 0.85 active nurses for every 1,000 people. That means for every 1,000 people, there is no nurse because 0.85 nurses is not a nurse. So, looking at these ... view
