• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Burning of schools is gross indiscipline and this is happening in our schools. Three schools have been burnt down in my constituency. These are Omobera Girls High School, Nyamesocho School and Magena High school. Those are too many for one single constituency. This crime must be punished severely.

By the way, that is not even provided for in the rules but a position of “Senior Teacher” exists. What do you expect of this senior teacher who ranks third and all the time he is thinking about when the Deputy Principal will become a principal so that he can also move up? There are problems within our setup. Discipline is a problem even among staff members. view
