• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also wish to support. Despite the fact that we have schedules in the Constitution that talk about this matter, at times it becomes a problem where to situate the headquarters of a county. I think that decision, perhaps, would best lie with the people of those particular counties. How I wish whenever we are making any decision, we do public participation. It is the only way we can get the views of the people. We need to know from them where they wish those headquarters to be situated. Remember there have been so ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this particular Motion. I believe and wish it should be headed to a Bill, so that it does not just end in the Clerk’s Office or wherever they normally go, lie and gather dust. I support this Motion. First, there is corruption in many schools and public institutions in our country and corruption has eaten the fabric of every part of our society. There is corruption everywhere. There is corruption in big and small offices. So, corruption is going down and down until one of these days, ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I was not born then, but I read that Mzee Jomo Kenyatta talked passionately about education because he knew education would equalise everybody; the poor and the rich, those from well-off families and those from poor families. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will be shocked that even the Speaker who was sitting here before you came, was from a very rich family. She is one of the Kalenjin doctors. When I was 15 or 16 years old, I used to milk cows in our home, but education has equalised me with her. Today, we sit in the same House. We ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: What does that mean? That means that we, as the Government, are supposed to provide facilitation and money to ensure that education is free, so that the children are not sent home to bring funds, maybe for the Parents Teachers Association (PTA). Education should be fully free. The money that is taken down there should be taken directly to where it is supposed to go. The introduction of bursars in schools will help us to ensure that the money we send to primary schools is utilised and accounted for properly. We should also have the same in day secondary schools. ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: We need to make it a reality by ensuring that day secondary schools are free so that those children whose parents cannot pay fees in big schools can also access education like the rest of us. This initiative of Free Primary Education (FPE) was Kibaki’s and we must thank him and his co-principal who were running the Government at that time. It is only that this initiative is not being made a reality by the current Government. We want to urge and force this Government to ensure that every single coin that is meant to go to our schools is ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: There is also an issue that we should make compulsory for this Government. The Government must employ a certain number of teachers every year. We can talk of FPE but maybe from Class One to Class Eight they only have two teachers. Parents are forced to pay for additional teachers through Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs). How then are we claiming that these schools are free and yet we are paying for the teachers who are supposed to have been paid by the Government? We want to urge the Government to consider what used to happen before in the 1970s and ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: teachers, neither are we employing enough teachers to those schools. Instead, we are forcing parents to employ other teachers to help in meeting the needs of our children. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The corruption we see in FPE, we do not know whether it is within the headquarters here or it is down in the primary schools or at the county levels. We want to ensure and urge all those institutions and agencies that deal with corruption to deal with it. This dragon called corruption is swallowing and tainting this country, making it look useless. Even the watchdog committees which are supposed to be dealing with these issues sometimes get tainted because they are not dealing with this monster properly. We must rise up as a country and ensure the dragon of ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to support by saying this country should not be let to go to the dogs by corrupt leaders. view
