But before getting a contract, you have ... view

• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I have a card. It is inserted properly and I have keyed in. I do not know why it is not reflecting. However, thank you for the opportunity to comment on one of the petitions, specifically the one you have read.

• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: To conclude, I would like to say that it is not really true that private schools charge more fees than public schools. I have had a student in private school and a child in public school. I paid more in public school under the capitation process. The capitation does not necessarily benefit all Kenyans and it should be equitable even to those going to private schools. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: opportunity to join others in supporting this idea of introducing training for our safety in primary and secondary school curriculum.

• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, introducing the curriculum at this point in time will help us a lot in making sure that we have individuals who will never forget what they have learnt. There is also need for us to have continuous advocacy on road safety. What the NTSA is doing is not sufficient. Either NTSA is not sufficiently funded or it has some reasons why it is not doing its work the way we expect. We would like to see continuous advocacy on road safety issues and the nitty-gritty on road safety where people normally make mistakes. Currently, this is not happening and ... view
