• 7 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: There have been delays in meeting the deadline on 17th February 2023 for various reasons. We had 10 publishers who were contracted to supply the books and there was a delay in providing them. The 10 publishers are as given in my answer. I do not have to mention them. The delay on their part was attributed to the fact that we have only 10 capable and competent publishers capable of printing, but they were unable to do it because of the quantity and the number of materials they were supposed to print to supply the said materials within the ... view
• 7 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thirdly, when supplying the textbooks in some parts of the country like the North Rift, we have to get security personnel because of the ongoing insecurity. Some areas were not accessible, but we are trying to access them now. The distribution of books is detected from capitation from every learner which is provided for free in day secondary schools and other secondary schools. In this particular year, we have also stated the amount that will be deducted from each leaner to provide the required number of books in all our schools. view

• 7 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As Members may be aware, 30 per cent of secondary schools in the country are boarding schools. There are national and county schools. Every Kenyan wants to take their child to a national or an extra-county school. Therefore, those schools are overstretched. Day schools, which are 70 per cent of our schools, are not as overstretched. That is why, going forward, we want to equip more day schools for parents to see the need to take their children there. As it is now, the national schools cannot accommodate more than what they are accommodating. Unless a ... view
• 7 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: start the activities at the school level to sub-county to county to regional to national. Every time, we have a serious shortfall. That is why we go for other partners. For example, this year, in order for us to manage the extracurricular activities, we had to get the support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports because of the funds they have, which you are aware is Ksh276 million from the Sports and Social Performance Fund. In case there is a school within the said municipality where teachers are not enjoying the amounts, they are supposed to enjoy. Kindly bring ... view
