• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in accordance with what we have done to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), and since there have been wide consultations with the Ministry of Finance and the Treasury in general on what the CDF NMC has said, because of continuity, we have no objection to the proposed names. We support the Motion. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From previous rulings of the Chair, if my memory serves me well, the directorship of public companies is a public matter. When we have insisted that the directors be named here, the Speaker has normally referred us to the Registrar of Companies because these are public documents. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Education, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Mr. Gibson Gathuthu, TSC No.134182, was suspended for two months with effect from 15th August, 1991, and was to report to the DEO, Nakuru for posting after serving the two months suspension. There are no records to show that the teacher reported to the District Education Officer, Nakuru, as directed. (b) There is no evidence to show that the teacher visited the TSC headquarters to lodge any complaints relating to his posting. (c) In view of the fact that the ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two things. Mr. Mukiri is the one to table any evidence to show posting or otherwise. He was told to go and report so that he could get a letter of posting. He did not report! That is what I said in part "a" of my answer. If Mr. Gathuthu had this problem, for 16 years, he has not even shown any evidence or even tabled letters to follow the case so that we can help him to push the case. view

• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the teacher produces some evidence of letters showing his appeal, we are willing to look into his case. However, 16 years is a long time ago. If he was 40 years old, he is now 56 years old; beyond retirement age. Basically, this is the kind of evidence we want so that we can help the teacher. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, in part "b" of my answer, I said that since he did not report, the TSC dismissed him. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The substantive Minister for Education said that the TSC is going to decentralise its activities to the various districts. I am sure that Mr. Karaba, as a former Principal and Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology knows about this. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just give a very brief chronology of what happened. That teacher was employed on 1st May, 1978, under TSC No.134182, like I said. He worked in various primary schools in West Pokot up to December, 1979. He was then transferred to Nakuru District in 1980, where he also taught in various schools. He was interdicted on 12th June, 1991, for desertion of duty. The case was heard and determined by the Commission on 15th August, 1991. He was suspended for two months for desertion. He was directed to report then to the DEO, Nakuru, ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is all right. We can bring a copy of the letter of dismissal. view
