• 31 May 2023 in Senate: to Grade Four and a secondary school up to Form Three and yet it is not registered. We have since given new guidelines, where we are speeding up the registration of schools. If AJK is a registered school, as you have requested, we will be able to work on it. If it is not registered, then we will ensure that it is registered. We will also look at the number of teachers that we have in this school. I am sure we will be able to do something. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was in Kilifi County and I am sure ... view
• 31 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to inform the House that the Ministry developed the Safety Standards Manual for schools to provide guidelines to ensure safety and healthy conditions in the school environment.

It also provides guidance on a number of issues such as skills-based education on prevention of endemic conditions, promotion of environmental sanitation and hygiene practices, provision of safe water and sanitation, protection of children with special needs with regard to their health and hygiene and on taking of immediate steps when there is a threat ... view

• 31 May 2023 in Senate: food and water. This is what happens every place that I move to. For example, when you see me in Kilifi or your county, I make sure that I check this. Additionally, on monthly basis, I always remind our officers to be keen on this issue of handling food and water in schools. Where I am unable to, we have virtual meetings. When I am not chairing those meetings, my PS chairs. One of the items of agenda that we discuss is the issue of handling food and water. I hope with the kind of insistence that we are having ... view
• 31 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Enforcement is one of the areas that we must admit that we have had a problem. The hon. Member also said about a director somewhere. Yes, you can have a very good manual, but have an issue with enforcement. This is why I have said I am giving my officers all the necessary support. This is because they have been using the excuse that they are unable to move around schools. They are now getting the support. One of the other things that we have done in the performance contracting of our officers among others ... view

On 5th April 2023, the area Member of Parliament, accompanied by a group, went to Umoja 1 Primary School. There was another rival group.

Three people were ‘slaughtered’ in the fracas; three sustained some injuries. The matter was reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The information we have confirmed is that the person who ‘slaughtered’ three innocent ... view
• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: necessary administrative action that includes disciplinary action against those who were involved in this. On the third part of the Question, government policy is very clear that, indeed, nobody is supposed to operate private businesses within school premises. We established that there were a number of businesses being transacted within the school compound before November 2022. That is against government policy. Following the complaints and more so from the Member of Parliament, the necessary remedial action has been taken on this. All businesses being conducted in the school have now been closed down. Among businesses in the school was a ... view
