• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am subsequently supporting this because our youths are there. If you can give me a minute, if you go for recruitment today - we all see because we take part in those recruitments - our youths are graduates. Some of them have PhDs. They are joining the armed forces because they have interest. Therefore, we cannot consume what is produced in Israel, the United Kingdom (UK) or United States of America (USA). We should understand the kind of hardware we have. Therefore, I support the amendment because it gives us the latitude to understand the kind of hardware we ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have gone to school. We are making this law for posterity. I do not know who will be there 10 years to come. This is law. Ten years to come somebody may misuse this provision. The word “extraneous” means “out of law”. That means somebody can use this provision and argue that it is law. Without wasting time, we are talking about this country’s disciplined forces. The KDF is ranked fifth in Africa.

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: moment you give somebody a leeway, anything can happen 20 years to come, just as the Leader of the Majority Party has said. I oppose the amendment. Let him get rid of that word. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity. I would like to take this opportunity to support this Bill. First and foremost, I am concerned that if you go to the rural areas, you will notice that early childhood education has been taken for granted. This is because the infrastructure is wanting. The passage of this Bill should be able to help and provide for whatever is required because these are the children we want to mould to become good citizens later on. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: As I have said, the infrastructure is wanting and teachers have taken it for granted. There are no toilet facilities for these children. It is, therefore, important that we try as much as possible to mould these children into proper citizens. When it comes to funding for this sector, we should know that these are not adults but children who should be taken care of.

• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: some of them will drop out of school. We should have proper infrastructure that appeals to children. We have very many children who drop out of school because of bad infrastructure. They disappear on reaching the third grade. Some of them have been encouraged by their parents to get into child labour. In areas where we have big farms like Trans-Nzoia, children who are not interested in learning due to unconducive learning environment end up getting into child labour. These children who are encouraged by their parents willingly opt to take care of cattle or fetch firewood. We should have ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of teachers, I get annoyed when I visit schools in rural areas and realise that teachers in such schools are maids. We do not have properly trained teachers that mould these children. Therefore, county governments should take up the matter because good citizenry starts at that level. We should get properly trained teachers in our schools. There are some cases where ECDE teachers are not paid. What do you expect? Those teachers will handle those children poorly. The employer of a person who is not properly trained but is dealing with these children ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should tell county governments to ensure that early childhood education is made compulsory. We do not want cases where a child comes and tomorrow he or she is not in class. It should be compulsory that at a certain age a child must go to school. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Last but not least, there should be regulations. There are very many nursery schools that are not regulated. We should regulate and license them. If you go to the countryside, you will find that a nursery school is located next to a church. We must have proper regulations to cater for the mushrooming of these centres that are not properly planned and facilitated, and are therefore, the wrong place to take our children. Since most of these schools are in the neighbourhood, parents decide to take their children there because they are near. It is like a dumping place. I ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am being disturbed and yet I need peace. I am saying something very important. With all due respect, can I make my point without being disrupted? view
