15 May 2019 in Senate:
Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is the CS basing his decision on? Is it that once they had been admitted to the colleges, they were not performing as required? Does he have any evidence that they are underperforming for the one semester or term that they had been there? If it is the TSC issue, the TSC is the one that allowed the non-local teachers to withdraw from Northern Kenya. How is it, therefore addressing it? You cannot fail to do your job of providing teachers, and when the affected persons come up with ways of doing that, you are ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, coming from that area and having gone to school in Northern Kenya, I attest that even in the national schools, one can be number 100 out of 120 in their entry grade. By the time you are in the second year, they can become even amongst the top 10. I have seen such cases. It is, therefore, not a matter of checking a mean grade of D+, as the Senate Majority Leader has said. It should be how those students are performing now that they have been admitted to those teacher training colleges. Is it that The ...

they are not performing, and that is why they are being sent home; or is it because of just the theoretical mean grade of D+?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Langat for bringing up this issue. I also send my condolences to the family of Dr. Hamisi, who unfortunately had to take his life under these conditions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, doctors are, as it has been said, very important in this country. That is why we had to take them for training. However, I am surprised to learn that, as a country, we want to invest in our own human resource but we do not look at their welfare. We wanted to learn from the Cubans. However, we should have known ...

harsh. It is a communist country which has been under a lot of embargo for a long time. It is not like going to any Western country. Therefore, before sending our doctors there, we should have known what kind of situations they will go through. The Committee will have to check on the issue of the allowances. However, I expect the Government to be paying directly to the accounts of these doctors. They should not wait to be sent their allowances by the Ministry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure whether doctors are civil servants. I know that when ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I would like to thank the Committee on Finance and Budget for coming up with this Bill; the County Wards (Equitable Development) Bill (Senate Bills No. 34 of 2018). I would also like to thank Sen. Kang’ata for having come up with the idea though it was similar to the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) which included the MCAs in the executive work. However, the improvement done by the Committee is good and it is now a legislation which we can comfortably pass and have ...
