• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank the universities for having been quite innovative. During the time I went to school, once you missed the university entry point by one point or so, you became doomed because there was no way you could access university education. These days, you can go through the parallel university programme or study in the private universities in Kenya. I am very sure that even some Members of this Parliament have been beneficiaries of this programme. I am sure it will go a long way in terms of supporting education in ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that we are doing very well in terms of university education. I would like to request the Minister to put a bit of emphasis on the issue of tertiary institutions which she talked about. The attitude of students and parents is such that when you start schooling, you aim to go to Form I, Form IV and university. In the thinking of students and parents, there is no provision for these other colleges. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: We know very well that some of the very good performers in this country and also in other countries in the world are people who have gone through institutes of technology. You get hands-on knowledge in these institutes which you can be able to apply very effectively. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to request the Minister through the Government funds that she will get, although it is not enough and also through the funds from our partners who are collaborating with us, that we put a lot of stress in these institutions, improve them and also try to spread them all over the country. This will ensure that each region can have access to these institutions. Students who are not able to go to university can go to these institutions and also end up at very high levels. That will help our country in terms of development. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Education is supposed to address the needs of that particular country. Whatever we do in class should be translated to supporting the society in terms of future development. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to contribute on the issue of research. We have very competent academicians and scholars in this country. However, research is hampered by lack of funding. It is high time that we allocated funds for research, so that whatever we get from research can be implemented and, therefore, help our country in terms of development. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: The Government is one of the highest spenders in terms of purchases, consultancies and training. It is high time we thought of giving some of these tasks to the universities to do this kind of work as a corporate body. Part of the money paid can go to the individuals conducting that research. Part of that money can also go to the university view
• 16 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am really concerned because this Question was before the House last week and it was directed to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. It was re-directed to the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. It has now been further directed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We have not been told whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has agreed to tackle this Question. So, we need to have an assurance as to whether when this Question comes to the House next week, it ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is common knowledge that there is a lot of dust in the beach hotels. This dust is brought about by the activities of the beach boys and other people who come to the beach. Is there a policy in place to ensure that these hotels are kept clean, so that our beaches are not affected? view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I want to disagree with the Assistant Minister very much, because it is common knowledge that the Government is not prepared for any disasters. I would like him to confirm whether the emergency number 999 is working today and; if it is, then I will agree with him! view
