• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: which should always be the case. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Public secondary schools across the country are forced to admit students far beyond their capacity. Majority of Kenyans feel alienated from this whole process which should be inclusive and collaborative. Education is so important and crucial in human life that it should never be about shouting matches, name-calling and bulldozing. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Article 1, of the Kenya Constitution 2010, stipulates that all sovereign power belongs to the people and not the Cabinet Secretary (CS). As leaders in the Government, we exercise it on their behalf. We should be able to provide these answers to Kenyans and make them included in all Government endeavours. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: In conclusion, the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) might be the best option for Kenya today but the roll-out appears wrong. We need to have consensus as a Republic. As elected leaders, it should be explained to us. Parents need to hold meetings in schools where their concerns will be addressed. The Ministry of Education in conjunction with the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) needs to take the advice of all stakeholders and address concerns, if any, amicably. Only then will the Government be able to successfully roll out a proper education curriculum for posterity. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you. 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
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious matter. I am not sure that my good friend, the Chairman of the Committee, is giving it the weight it deserves. We can gamble with anything else, but we cannot afford to do so, with the lives of our innocent children. We can play with our politics, economy or any other thing, but not the future of our innocent children. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied because the Committee was given two weeks. At that time, some of us even thought that two weeks was too long. However, the Speaker was magnanimous enough and gave them two weeks. Some of us wanted answers immediately the same week. Two weeks down the road, we do not seem to be having answers from the Chairman. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: I propose that we summon the CS for Education to come to the Senate so that he can respond to Senators directly without going through the Committee on Education, Information, Communication and Technology. view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. Let me take this opportunity to thank my elder brother, the Senator for Bungoma, for bringing this issue on the Floor of the House, so that we eulogize our departed former colleague. view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: I join him, on my own behalf and on behalf of my family and the people of Vihiga, in conveying my deepest condolences to the family of our departed former colleague, Mheshimiwa Oduya Oprong‘, the people of Teso Community, the people of Busia, and the people of Kenya in general. view
