• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: By the way, just on that one, Sen. Wetangula, that is a practice we should actually discourage. A statement should be specific. We have allowed that practice, but it is not the proper one. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: I will leave it to the discretion of the Chairperson to satisfy himself on whether all those counties qualify to be marginalized. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: I am sorry, Sen. Wangari, the system cannot tell exactly whether you want your request to come after or during. But I note the issue that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Order! Order! There is really no debate there. The way you use words is basically to express your own appreciation of the situation. As far as Sen. Wetangula is concerned, maybe he wanted to convince the House that it is not possible to teach and, at the same time, hold an AK47. He even gave a reason that they are not qualified to teach. The only thing that Sen.

• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Order, Senators! By the way, Sen. Elachi, you are not the Chairperson of the Committee on Education. The last time I checked, it was Sen. Daniel Karaba. Again, this Statement has not been responded to yet. So, let the Vice Chairperson tell us when they will bring the Statement and then we will interrogate the Statement. The Committee will confirm whether or not, there was an AK47 or if there was any teaching that took place. All these issues have been canvassed and will be responded to. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Order, Vice Chairperson! How many Statements do you have? You have two Statements. There was a specific one by Sen. Nabwala and then you now have another Statement, which I said should be separated from the one by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, which was supported by Sen. Wetangula. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Of course, for the issue raised by Sen. Wetangula in terms of replacing the teachers due to attrition, that is something that the Committee can really dispense with very quickly.

So, it would be wrong if less teachers are recruited than those lost through attrition. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Order, Senators. Sen. Billow, you are taking us back on an issue I had already ruled on. I thought you are in a nice comfort of the neighbourhood of Sen. Elachi, whom I reconfirm is not the Chairperson of the Education Committee and neither are you. My recommendation was to the Chairperson to establish these facts and come and report to us. That way, we do not have to engage to know which figures are correct. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: But the matter has come when we should have been on recess. Remember that this week was an extension. Secondly, it is the plenary that will be on recess. The committees will still be at work. I am sure the Members of the Committee, ably represented by the Vice Chairperson have heard the sentiments by the Senators, including yours. They will interrogate the TSC accordingly. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Next order. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
