• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the import of the whole Report is to find out persons and companies that have been deemed culpable. The import of the amendment is to say: “Having said all that you have said, because the matter is in court, let us make no recommendations as regards the company and the persons.” In fact, it is as if we are saying: “Let us do nothing.” So, what are we debating? view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: to reduce the cost of burden of primary education to parents, the government established the FPE annual capitation per child at Kshs1020.00 for primary schools; taking into account the need to meet the constitutional right of every Kenyan child to free and compulsory basic education; deeply concerned that the capitation grant has remained constant at Kshs1020.00 since 2003 despite the inflationary levels having risen, thus undermining the purchasing power for schools; this House urges the Government to increase the capitation grant per child from Kshs1020.00 to Ksh.1200.00 for primary schools.

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: learning in our schools because schools do not have purchasing power for textbooks leading to poor standards of education even in the national examinations. Hon. Deputy Speaker, those schools that do not have enough textbooks and learning materials and those schools that are new and have low enrolment rate are the ones that are performing poorly in the national examinations. The textbooks ratio to pupil is recommended at one to two or one to three. Currently, in some schools, the ratio is very high. view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: For example, in Wajir County, Wajir South Constituency, I have a school called Dadajabulla. I sampled the best and the worst performing schools in that county. Dadajabulla Primary School had 40 pupils sitting for the KCPE in 2012 and it had a mean grade of 133 marks. It was the last in Wajir County. It had a book to pupil ratio of one to five. That means that the books are not enough. The money received for the free primary education is Kshs40,800, which is very little. A mean grade of 133 is very low. view
