• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, teachers in the school in Budalangi were locked out of school for being slightly late. This act highly demeaned the stature of teachers as professionals. It is professionally required that teachers report to duty on time. It is clearly the case also that there are circumstances that can inhibit this requirement that may be allowable or understandable on humanitarian grounds. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the case of Sichekhe Mixed Primary School where teachers were slightly late on day one of reopening of schools for the first term, they were denied entry. The watchman was instructed not to ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, teachers are human beings just like anyone else. They have children to take to school just like any other parent. There is need to investigate the circumstances that led the head teacher to behave in such unwarranted manner towards his colleagues. The success of a school cannot be achieved or determined by one person. That is the head teacher. Rather, it is a collective responsibility of teachers, head teachers, Boards of Management (BOM), Parents Teachers Association (PTA) and everyone else. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: I commend NTV, for airing the incident and letting everyone know what the teachers were going through. Empathy entails that the wrongs meted on the teachers be corrected. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to investigate whether the teachers had made prior arrangements with the head teacher that they would be late or to find out if teachers had a staff meeting prior to opening. In an institution of learning, a staff meeting is a prerequisite to smooth running of the school. The meeting sets the pace for everything else to fall in the right place before learning begins. It is during the school opening meeting that teachers express themselves in the event that they would be absent. Madam Temporary Speaker, head teachers as managers and leaders in ... view

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to proceed to my next Statement. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1), to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern namely, the plight of academically bright children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. There have been many reported cases of students who have performed well in last year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations, struggling to join Form One, but are stranded because of their parents’ or guardian’s financial inabilities to pay their fees. Madam Temporary Speaker, in one clear case, Billy Steve, a student in ... view

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Statement by Sen. Ndwiga. My deepest condolences goes to the family of the university students who lost their lives during this operation. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is painful when the police become trigger happy in shooting. This should not be the case. Police officers are armed to protect citizens. This is an issue that needs to be investigated and necessary action taken. I condemn this act in the strongest terms possible. I believe the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Hon. (Dr.) Matiang’i, has the ability to intervene and ... view
