• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Odanga for bringing this Motion before this House. It is timely because we have seen schools being burnt by students. We have also seen students who are not disciplined. If students in our schools are not disciplined, then they will not engage in meaningful activities that will build Kenya. There is Programme for Pastoral Instruction (PPI) in primary schools where chaplains go to schools to talk to pupils. They only take 10 minutes to talk to the students and this arrangement has not had any impact. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, parents are also a concern. They need to instill values in their children. Some parents cannot even guide their children because they fear them. Teachers also fear big boys because they can fight them. Chaplains should be deployed to schools so that we can have order in our schools. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I support this Senate Bill on County Early Childhood Education. I support it because of the management board that will be put in place. Usually, each ECDE centre has been on its own without a board. They have been running their programmes without a board. That board will put all the programmes in place. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the recruitment of ECDE teachers, county governments have been doing it in a funny way. Now that the Teachers Service Commission will come in, it will recruit the trained teachers, be in charge of their discipline and maintain the register of ECDE teachers. With time, remuneration will also be done by TSC. At the moment, each county decides what to pay the teachers. In fact, it is not a salary. I do not know what we can call it because it is peanuts and yet, they do a lot of work. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I support the free admission into public ECDE centres. If we do that, most children will attend classes. They will go to those centres. Because of poverty, most parents do not take their children to ECDE centres. They skip it and when they take the children to Standard One, teachers in primary school have it rough because they have to start from scratch. I am sure most children will now attend school. Free tuition will boost children to go for ECDE. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The curriculum will be developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). I am sure that with that in place, everyone will now be at par. The curriculum will cover the whole nation, rather than a school following its own programme and another using another one. With this in place, everyone will use the syllabus from KICD. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: There will be feeding programmes in ECDE centres which will make most children active. Some families send their children to school without having a meal. But the feeding programmes will motivate most children to be in school and, at the same time, be active and alert to learn. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: As we look at that, we also need to put in place other incentives to ensure children remain in school. For instance, we can put up ECDE buildings. The rate at which the county governments are moving is a bit worrying because it is taking too long to put up classrooms. They need to move very fast to ensure that the children have a place to learn. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill. I now give my friend Hon. (Ms.) Mishi the remaining minutes. Thank you. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill because it is going to put in place regulations. If you look at the way they are going to publish the names of the registered and licensed persons, you will find that it is good. This is because sometimes, you will find people without licenses being employed in a place. Today, I was in one of the media houses and somebody came in and said that he is part of this. When he was asked whether he is trained and registered, he said that he is not but ... view
