• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whatever Hon. Eseli is trying to amend is already in the Elections Act. There is no way we can amend it. The regulations are there to implement the Act and not to amend it. I want to agree with the Leader of the Majority Party on the issue of regulations, but not on the other issues to do with politics. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me thank my colleague Hon. Simiyu for bringing this amendment but, unfortunately, I am going to oppose it. We cannot micro- manage IEBC through these regulations. The onus lies with IEBC, to come up with its own programmes as to how they are going to hold their meetings. This is administrative. I want to persuade my colleagues to oppose this, and we leave it to IEBC. Thank you. view

• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand guided on this issue. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives sent Members to the United States of America on the matter we are about to discuss. Hon. Ottichilo has also appeared before our Committee on the issue. We have met with other stakeholders on this issue and the Report is pending tabling before the House. Is it in order for Hon. Ottichilo to purport to bring a Motion proposing to establish a select committee to deal with an issue he has participated in and contributed enormously? view

• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for affording me this chance to add my voice to this Bill. At the outset, I support this Bill because it attempts to cure the confusion which has been there in ECDE. As you know, starting with the training of teachers in the kindergartens in this country, there has been a lot of confusion and institutions mushrooming all over the country 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 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: without proper accreditation from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Every institution has been offering courses which might not be of any use to that young child. That young child needs a foundation. If that child is to grow into a good citizen and learn, he or she must have good education. That is the basis of ECDE. Besides training of teachers and the institutions themselves, there has also been the issue of leadership of those ECDE institutions. They have either been led by primary school head- teachers or teachers who teach in those schools. To me, it was ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another issue that this Bill attempts to cure is coordination between the Early Childhood Development Education centres, primary schools, institutions of higher learning, teachers and any other --- view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This has been coordinated by the Teachers Service Commission and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Where was ECDE? It was under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, but after devolution, it was devolved to the counties. How have the counties performed? Counties have performed very poorly. Construction of classrooms, which I have heard my colleagues call learning space, has been another nightmare. The cost of construction alone has been very high. In my constituency, it has been to the tune of Kshs2 or Kshs2.5 million to construct one classroom. Communities have ... view
