• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education: (i) What measures the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the high number of students admitted or set to join universities and who have not attained the age of 18 years will obtain funding from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) even without the National Identification Card which is a prerequisite for loan applications?

• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Our national values are in Article 10 of the Constitution. They emphasise on patriotism. It is one aspect that is enshrined in our Constitution and the national anthem. It will be wrong if we, as leaders, do not ensure that these national values are practised.

At Independence and a few years after, there was a lot of emphasis on teaching about the national values, even in schools. The National Anthem was taught in schools. Ethics were incorporated within ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Parliament should provide what is necessary in operationalising the national values. We, as Parliament, passed certain laws like the National Cohesion and Integration Act, which is helping us. The President emphasised on the BBI, which is enshrined in our Constitution. We also passed some of the laws and provided the necessary resources that can operationalise the national values in departments and institutions that we created. The President indicated the state of progress which is quite satisfactory in terms of implementation of national values. However, we need to anchor and support that with resources to ensure that these values start from ... view
