• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for the protection. I rise to support the Statement by Bungoma Senator, Sen. Wetangula, on this matter of the Digital Literacy programme (DLP). It will be remembered that the DLP was not just about the supply of laptops to schools. It was also about building the capacity of teachers in primary schools to take our pupils through computer lessons. As this matter goes to the Committee, it should also look into the issue of the number of teachers that were trained through this programme and at what cost. What will happen to that expertise that ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Secondly, the building of computer labs as proposed in the new policy is a good idea. However, this pre-occupation with the notion that one size fits all is one that we must debunk. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There are some schools in this county that lack basic infrastructure in terms of classrooms. I am wondering whether we will witness another situation as we have with medical equipment. We decided that we give CT scan machines to every hospital in this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: There are schools that do not need computer labs today. They need class rooms. As the Ministry of Education rolls out this policy, it will be important to carry out proper feasibility study and align the needs of the schools with it. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Lastly, I want to ask the same question that was asked by Sen. Wetangula. What will happen to these devices that have already been issued to our pupils?

We do not want to see situations where some schools will be giving those laptops to the pupils and other schools requiring them to return them. I support., view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I join you and my colleagues in welcoming the visiting delegation from the County Assembly of Elgeyo-Marakwet. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard what the Senator for Isiolo County has said about Elgeyo-Marakwet having one of the best Chambers in the country. I congratulate them for that. However, I would like also to invite her to visit the Kitui County Assembly and see the kind of Chamber we have. The Hon. Speaker has been to that Chamber. I am sure he can attest to the state of that Chamber of Kitui County Assembly. Having said that, I would like to encourage the visiting delegation to take their time here today to learn and make maximum use of ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am pleased to note that with very little budgetary allocations to the County Government of Elgeyo-Marakwet, it has continued to distinguish itself as a good performer in terms of delivery of services. I, therefore, encourage them to take their time in this Chamber to learn as much as they can and take our greetings back to Elgeyo- Marakwet when they go back. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
