• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if there are people who work so hard in this country, it is the teachers. Surprisingly, the salary which they earn is not something to write home about. Just imagine a primary school teacher earning between Kshs7,000 and Kshs8,500. What can that money do? It is not enough for his transport. It cannot even cater for his needs and those of his family. It beats common sense to see some Ministries are allocated money, but at the end of the financial year, it is returned back to Treasury. Why can we not pay teachers well? They ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Secondly, it is a pity to see a school with a population of 400 and 500 pupils with only six teachers. In a primary school with four streams or three streams, you will find five or seven teachers. In these schools, you find the children of the poor parents or children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Their parents expect them to excel and be admitted in provincial and national secondary schools. The rich people in this country take their children to those well equipped primary schools and with very many teachers. How do we expect these children to compete? We need to ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, many of us have been spending CDF funds to construct classrooms. But in a constituency like mine where I have more than 175 primary schools, this money is not enough. Most of those schools are in a very bad state. Even if I try to improve the infrastructure with the CDF money, there is nothing much I can do. Last financial year, I received Kshs85 million. Even if I try to give each school Kshs100,000, that would make no impact. Still, there is no development that would seem to have been initiated in those primary schools. ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree that President Kibaki’s Government has done a lot in terms of development in this country. However, the development we are talking about is not felt by the ordinary Kenyan. This is because we are not addressing issues that affect them directly. For example, Thika Super Highway is being used by people who have vehicles that can transport their goods and services. Majority of view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: are not enjoying the fruits of the development initiated by this Government. Their major concern is what they will eat today and the education of their children. They would like to see their children, after primary education, being admitted to good secondary schools. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to think seriously about the secondary school education in this country. This is an area which has been neglected for a long time. For example, if you go to the rural areas, secondary schools there are in a deplorable condition. Do you expect students in those schools to compete with their counterparts in Nairobi School, State House Girls High School, Alliance High School and others which have got very well equipped science laboratories and other equipment? It is a pity that some secondary schools in my constituency, and I believe in other constituencies, have ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is security. Money has been allocated to provide security, but you will find that a big chunk of it is going to the military and the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS). We are not bitter about this, but the real security that is required in the village or sub-location is not there. In Matungulu, for example, there are two districts each with a population of between 145,000 to 165,000 people. Although I have 12 chiefs in one of the locations, there are not many Administration Police (AP) officers, and hence, they cannot cope ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika wa Muda, nashukuru kwa nafasi ya kuchangia Hoja hii. Yangu yatakuwa machache. Tunapoendelea na kujitayarisha kuwaweka Wajumbe ambao watawakilisha taifa letu katika Bunge la Afrika Mashariki, nataka kutoa mwito kwamba vyama vya kisiasa vizingatie kabisa kikamilifu watu ambao wana uwezo wa kuwakilisha taifa, lakini sio kuangalia ni nani anayemfuata, kumsihi and kumtii mwingine. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, ni ajabu kwamba hivi sasa tunavyongea, kampeni inaendelea ya hali ya juu sana, na cha kushangaza ni kwamba yule mtu ambaye hana muhusika katika chama ambacho kina wengi wa Wabunge ambao wataweza kuteua mwakilishi katika Bunge la Afrika ya Mashariki, huyo mtu hana lake. Hawezi kutokea pahali popote. Kwa hivyo, utagundua kwamba ni vyama tu vya kisiasa vitakavyoamua ni nani na nani ataweza kuingia pale. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kampeni ya juu sana imeanza na majina--- Hivi sasa, mimi kama Kiranja wa Serikali, majina ninayoona ni mengi, majina ambayo yanatajwa kutoka kila chama lakini ya ajabu ni kwamba hakuna mwanawake hata mmoja. Kwa hivyo, ni juu ya wanawake wazingatie na kujitahidi kabisa kikamilifu waone kwamba wanaweza kuomba ruhusa ya kupata nafasi katika Bunge la Afrika Mashariki. view
