30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Mover of the Motion, Hon. John Wambugu, and thank him for giving me this opportunity. I take this opportunity to wish all the students success in their exams. This Motion is very relevant because we have 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school. This one is an onward movement from secondary to tertiary education. This Motion addresses joblessness which is one of the major problems we have in our country. There are so many youth who are not employed yet we lack people who ...

26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this very important Bill on ECD. First, I note that ECD is very important because it is the transition of the young ones from a home set up to school. This is their first encounter with the world and with different people. Therefore, it is very important. ECD schools should have a set up that is attractive for the children to fit comfortably as they move from a home set up to a school set up. So, those institutions should be made in a ...

start or the first impression the children get about school and learning. So, it should not be treated lightly like it is done in some cases. You find, especially in rural areas, few parents coming up with arrangements to start ECD schools and then get teachers from anywhere who have not even been trained and employ them. They put such delicate and fragile children in wanting structures. As I said, this is a transition from home and the first impression is very important. Those delicate children require quality education. Meals should also be considered. The Government should put in place ...

26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly:
The Ministry of Education, TSC and the county governments should be structured in such a way that they take into consideration early childhood education. Primary school teachers are well trained. Inspections are even conducted in primary schools to ensure that the curriculum is being followed. At early childhood education centres, such structures are lacking. So, we should have structures for early childhood education.

The teachers also need to have a scheme of service. There should be good structures on how they will be paid so that they are assured of getting a pay at the end of the month. They will know how much they will be paid because some of them get very little and are not even assured of getting that pay at the end of the month. Those teachers should also belong to a union that will take care of their needs like negotiating for their payments with the TSC and such things. They should have standardised salaries and belong ...

19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Osoro for this good Motion on introduction of curriculum for training pupils and students on road safety. Let me also note that this training is very necessary because it will assist pupils to know the rules, the traffic code of conduct and how to behave on the roads. At that age, pupils and students will develop a culture which will help the whole society. Children are the ones who grow to become drivers and road users. With such a culture, our country will raise citizens who ...
