• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to that of the petitioner on education issues, especially the primary school co-curricular activities together with secondary school co-curricular activity so that the Committee looks at it entirely when it will be looking at this. Currently, the Government has moved from the cognitive curriculum that was mainly giving a lot of emphasis to the cognitive skills to the competence based curriculum (CBC). In the CBC co-curricular activities become extremely important because they are developing the learner’s skills on psychomotor and other level of skill development which are important. ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution provides that every child has a right to free and compulsory basic education; further, aware in addition to providing free and compulsory education the Government is also implementing the free tuition secondary education; appreciating the Government’s policy of achieving 100 per cent transition of pupils from primary to secondary schools; concerned that this policy has resulted in a stretch and strain on school infrastructure and facilities as a result of the large numbers of students admitted in ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: (Emuhaya, ANC)): Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this Petition. It is true that the teachers entered into an agreement with the Government that was led by then Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General, Adongo. In 1997, the Government was supposed to have paid them their full dues, but due to the fact that the Government said it was unable to pay the dues at once, it was paid in small bits within a period, originally, an agreement of five years and later extended to 10 years. When these teachers finally retired, some of ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of the alarming level of insecurity in Emuhaya Constituency over the past three years and, in particular, in Esibuye, Esirulo, Kilingili, Illungu, Mwichio markets, whereby killings, robberies and burglaries have been on a steady rise with the most recent incident being the killing of eight people by a gang that attacked Kilingili and Illungu markets on Saturday, 2nd March 2019? (b) What measures, if any, has the Ministry put in place to enhance ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise to seek your indulgence to direct that, because of the high interest which is already being seen, we actually reduce the talking time to three minutes so that every Member can have a chance to contribute. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute. I wish to begin by stating clearly that, as opposed to what was said by the Members who contributed earlier, some of us did not come to Parliament, courtesy of being trade unionists. We must be respected by the other Hon. Members of Parliament. We were elected by the people. When you demean me, then you are demeaning the people of Emuhaya - which is not good. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Two, I wish to say that trade unions are in Article 41 of the Constitution. They have a right to exist in this country. Therefore, nobody should try to intimidate or even indicate that they are doing their things out of order. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Three, the causes of the strike that is ongoing at JKIA should be known by this House. One, there is mismanagement of KAA by the managers. Two, there is the believed takeover of KAA by KQ. Therefore, this House should not be gagged from talking about that because it is the cause of that strike. Four, there is the issue of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) which has not been signed since 2016. In this matter, I want to go on record and say that the rights of the workers at JKIA have been stepped upon by the employer. They ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: workers with irregular ones whom they are underpaying. For instance, those who are under the section of trade wings are being paid Kshs7,000, which is way below the minimum wage in Kenya, which stands at Kshs13,000. The workers are forced to sign or be taken over by KQ, which is taking over KAA. They are told that they will be managed under the old terms for a period of one year, after which their salaries shall be cut. Therefore, this is a matter of serious national concern. For example, 98 security officers were hired last week. They will be paid ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to go on record in supporting the Chair of this Committee for a good Report on the NG-CDF. Indeed, the NG-CDF has been a very important game-changer as far as development is concerned in the rural areas. Before the NG-CDF came, we did not see development in certain quarters in rural areas. In my constituency of Emuhaya, since the time of Hon. Marende, who was seated where you are now seated, and later on Hon. Wilber Ottichilo, the Governor of Vihiga, we have seen many changes which have gone all the ... view
