• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill; the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill. This Bill is long overdue. I am one of the people who have been waiting to debate this Bill, but it has been overtaken by events, particularly on the issue of appointment of board members. This is a calling to this House that whenever a Bill which touches on the lives of Kenyans is in the list, the House Business Committee (HBC) should prioritise it and ensure that it comes at the right time. When I look at Clause ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: House stage we move an amendment to the definition of “sponsor” so that it takes care of religious organisations that do not own any land, but offer free services to ensure that schools are guided as per the beliefs of those religious organisations. Clause 3 talks about the County Education Board (CEB) while Clause 5 proposes the establishment of a Sub-County Education Board to represent the CEB. We have a big problem. Whereas the Constitution brings services closer to the people, the Basic Education Act takes away that benefit from the people. Currently, there are a lot of unregistered schools. ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for that intervention. The consultations were too high. There are amorphous bodies being formed in this country. One of them is the association led by someone called Ndunda, which has been causing a lot of confusion. At some point they take over a school and ask people to elect parallel boards. We want a situation where parents and teachers have one voice. We have seen a calculated move to kick teachers out of management of schools. If you kick out teachers, you will have a lot of trouble. We currently have a lot of trouble ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The other thing is the composition of the boards. This Bill makes it clear how the boards should be composed. The Bill should be improved further to make it very clear how the boards should be constituted in order to make education management very easy. What I oppose in this Bill is the attempt to over-legislate. We have seen a lot of pieces of legislation which do not make sense. We should not stop schools from conducting tuition. We are not equal. There are schools with enough teachers. There is unfairness in the distribution of teachers. Some schools in the ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion as amended. Emergencies occur without any indication. We should, therefore, identify the risk of those events occurring. We should also look for mitigating controls to ensure that if emergencies occur, the impact will not be as huge as when we are not prepared. Unfortunately, in this country, we leave everything to God. We are not prepared at all. The way ambulances are stationed in many hospitals in this country shows that they are not prepared. Drivers are not stationed there and some of them have to be called from ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: incorporate the curriculum to train all our staff to handle emergencies, it makes them recognise the importance of ensuring that they properly treat patients at the right time so that it can reduce cost. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, let us support the amendment so that medical personnel can get the right training. At the same time, let us think as Kenyans and not divide the country. We need to look at the way the health sector is being handled so that we save the country from future disasters. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important Bill because one of the fundamental aspects of the Constitution is to provide protection to sick people. But the problem is that these rights which have been provided for by the Constitution have actually addressed one aspect. You are provided with a right which is health, education and security but specifically on health, it has not addressed the question of how. Therefore, it becomes a right on paper. At least, on the right to education, we have seen a lot of effort being put by the Government to provide free primary ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this chance to contribute to this important Motion, which touches on firearms, an important aspect of security. This country has faced a lot of issues on security. This Motion on tracking and registration system for firearms is very important. view
