• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I also wish to voice the same concerns, which most of the Members here have voiced. First, is the question of the Senate. This Constitution was not written by this House. It was written by Kenyans. The way the Constitution was drafted to empower this House to deal with certain Bills is not our mistake. It is the Constitution itself and, therefore, I do not know why we find it hard to understand the Constitution. When we find it hard to believe what this House does, it is the prerogative of any person to seek interpretation in courts, ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I wish also to make a serious contribution towards this Motion. I wish to say on the outset that I support, especially after the several amendments which have been made. Initially we had issues with the way the money was allocated . I think we are satisfied but not so much but at least we have had a few amendments here and there. I must say that I support. I commend the Committee for the great work they have been doing and the much effort that they have put. One thing that I must say is that the ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for your guidance. I would like to say that I wish to address myself to many issues. We had in our Constitution an allocation for the Equalisation Fund. This was meant to address problems which are found in some areas which had been marginalised for a long time. These are also areas which the Committee should look at especially areas like Narok where we have problems. I speak of an issue which we have in our constituencies. There are some constituencies in this country which do not even have a health centre or a hospital. What they only ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We have also been having a problem with the free secondary education, especially the day schools. There is some money which was allocated to them, but which to date has not been seriously felt. We talk about free secondary education, but there are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: some day secondary schools which still charge a lot of money. We need to liaise with the Ministry of Education to ensure that the money that we give that Ministry is used in reducing the amount of fees which students pay in the day secondary schools. In my constituency I have created more than ten day secondary schools. We have very serious problems in areas that are poverty-stricken. These are areas where parents cannot afford to pay fees for their students to go to boarding schools. We should use the day schools to rescue students and secure education for them. ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this particular Motion. I think we need to look at the major issues why ranking is very important and I support the ranking of schools. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: First, I have heard several Members in this House complain about the position of their schools. I am among those Members who guard schools, which you would say are not in a good position to compete with other schools. If we were to go in that direction that would mean that we are requesting this Government to give different examinations. If we are talking about Alliance High School not being able to compete with a school in North Eastern; if we are taking about Maseno High School not being in a position to compete with a school in Emurua Dikirr, ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We also have reasons why we need to have this ranking in place. Why are our world universities ranked? Why is it that we know the position that the University of Nairobi is in, in the world ranking? Why is it that we know which university is ranked highly in the country? It is because we want to show how those universities are performing. We also have ranking not only in universities, but also in Ministries. Every year we have performance contracts. We are ranking how Ministries, counties, Members of Parliament and even Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) are performing. That ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Another reason why we have this ranking and it has to stay is because of motivation. Competition is healthy. People cannot know which position you are in unless you compare with somebody else. We even rank athletes. We rank countries in football. The reason we do that is because we want to know who is better than the other. Nobody has complained that because you are ranking Manchester United against Arsenal it is wrong or it is disadvantaging the other. Actually, it is making those particular teams to have more fans in those areas and to have serious players. We ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: No, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are on the same league. view
