• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion because there are pertinent issues that the Chairman of this particular Committee looked at. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The provision that puts money into the youth polytechnic in the areas where we come from is very important. As we all know, we have many other institutions of learning. Those learners who leave Standard Eight but who do not make it to secondary school and those who leave Form Four but fail to make it to middle-level colleges are saved by the youth polytechnics. Once upon a time, I was a product of a polytechnic, where I studied mechanics. It was just because I was so ambitious that I moved to other areas. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, polytechnics are very important institutions for our youth. They accommodate people who may have problems in the society. They can actually be saved by polytechnics. Giving this money to the constituencies is one way of ensuring that every constituency benefits. Although the Constitution provides that polytechnics are under the counties, to date there is no single polytechnic that has been looked after by any county. I want to thank the Chairman; stating that this money will go directly to the constituencies is an assurance that the money will be used to elevate the already existing youth ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of Level Five Hospitals, I would like to urge the Chairman that when we look at the next Budget, we consider these facilities. We have only eight Level Five Hospitals in the country. There are many counties, including Narok and Bomet Counties, which do not have Level Five Hospitals. Allocating the money to Level Five Hospitals alone means that only a few counties will benefit. We need to build more Level Five Hospitals, so that every county can have one such institution. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also need to create Level Four Hospitals in every constituency, so that Kenyans across the country can be served adequately. I am speaking on this matter knowing very well that I come from a constituency where we do not have even a health centre. I do not have a sub-district hospital. I only have dispensaries. Even talking about free maternity services, I do not have a maternity wing anywhere in my constituency, whereas people in other constituencies enjoy these services. Therefore, we need to have at least a Level Five Hospital in every constituency, so ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I would also like to speak on the matter of the Kshs5 million meant for the centres of excellence. The money that was initially provided for those centres when the current President was the Minister for Finance did so well. It helped to create centres of excellence in our schools. I believe that the money that has been provided now will help us elevate schools in our counties to new status. 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
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also stand to oppose this Bill. I oppose not for so many reasons, but I think we are just trying to create parastatals where people will just be spending time and our money. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We have several bodies in this country which look into the education system. If a university wants to offer a certain course, there is a body that gives accreditation. If a particular college or university wants to offer, for example, an engineering course, there is a body that gives accreditation for that particular college to offer that degree course. If a certain college or university wants to offer a degree in Law, there is a body that gives that accreditation and you cannot offer a degree in law or medicine or engineering unless you have been given that accreditation. So, ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: it is recognized in this country or not. For example, if the university that gave you that degree is recognized in the country, that particular body is vested with the power to either attest to that certificate as valid or not. I am one of those people who studied abroad and when I came back and I got admitted to do Masters in the University of Nairobi, I had to go to the Commission for Higher Education. They looked at the university I studied in and gave me the letter that allowed me to be admitted at the University of ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to seek your guidance. If my memory serves me right, I remember hon. Waiganjo had opposed this Bill. So, I do not know if it is in order for him to reply yet he had opposed. I seek your guidance. view
