• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think I asked the question and I already have an answer from Dr. Wekesa. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still need an explanation from him. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister give us the registration numbers of those organisations and state why they are doing what they are doing? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are so many questions which have been asked, but the Assistant Minister has spent a lot of his time answering other things. Could you order him to answer those questions, which include naming the financiers of those NGOs and naming the NGOs which are doing that particular job, including the leaders involved? view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. First of all, we know that education is very necessary in our country and in the world. If we go back to the definition by Aristotle, he says that education is the separation for quality life. That means that in our country education is very necessary. It is not only education but it depends on the quality. I think that it is very necessary to find a way of ensuring that whatever is being offered is quality. I am saying that because we know we have the regular ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that in the private universities all students are in the same class. So, we feel that in our public universities, there should be no parallel and regular programmes. In private universities, students do well because they are all in the same class as long as they take the same course. I think this is an issue that should be checked by the Government. We also know that there is a problem with the payment of fees. University education in Kenya is very expensive. That is why most of our youths go to Rwanda, ... view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: So, I think also something should be done on the side of school fees because after all they are offering the same courses which I think should not be expensive in Kenya and cheaper in Uganda or in any other country. view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the number of universities in Kenya do not match the population because currently we have a population of 40 million people. The universities that we had since long time ago when the population was 10 million, currently we have only increased by two to three universities, which means, they do not match the increase in student population. Something should be done about this. Since the population is increasing there is a lot of competition in employment and everything depends on the qualifications. University education is supposed to provide the qualifications that are required. view
• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also another problem which needs to be addressed. In our country we find that most of those who succeed are from private schools, especially when it comes to primary schooling. Everything depends on the foundation. I think something should be done about primary education. Most of the public schools are under-staffed. This means that the students do not get enough attention and this contributes to failure especially when it comes to Standard Eight and Form Four examinations. This means that they do not succeed to get into good schools. So, I think everything ... view
