• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Government to increase the number of Level 5 hospitals so that more people benefit from this. I hope the Government will move with speed to set up more Level 5 Hospitals across the country in this financial year. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: There is also another conditional grant of Kshs900milllion which is going to compensate the county governments to ensure that they do not charge members of the public for using health facilities. It is sorry that even though we have devolved health, most of our hospitals are still either charging people for health services or they do not provide drugs. Effectively, they are making the poor people to be poorer. When you ask people to buy drugs and yet we have allocated money for health services that is not a very good thing. It shows that the county governments have not ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I stand to support this amendment because it is not only important for everyone in this country to understand the sign language, but it will cure the worries which hon. Members had in the amendment which was being brought by hon. (Ms.) Muhia where we were saying that it will be very difficult for institutions to implement the requirement to have, at least, somebody who understands the sign language. If all Kenyans are made to understand, at least, the basics of sign language in terms of just understanding what those people require, then we will have helped them ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to second this Motion. This is a very important Motion which is going to bring order to the education sector. After the abolition of the ranking system, there was confusion in the country. It was like the country was in darkness. In fact, the other day when the KCSE results came out, there was a lot of circulation of different results by different people because we lacked official communication from the Ministry. There was a lot of circulation on the internet and in the media, which were not accurate and, therefore, misleading ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: No, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am not putting it in bad light. But it is known that most of the schools in the rural areas are disadvantaged because of their infrastructural level. I am not saying that because they are far, they cannot do well. The students in those schools can be motivated by being ranked. The other issue is that Kenyans have a right to information. When you deny information to Kenyans, some people will come in to mislead them. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: People can now use such loopholes to con Kenyans. We want order in the education sector. It is high time we returned order in the sector. Having said so, it is not only in the education sector where ranking is done. Within the Executive, the same Ministry that has stopped the ranking of schools is among the Ministries which are being ranked now. The persons who are running the Ministry are under performance contracts. How can Prof. Kaimenyi say that ranking of schools is not good when his own Ministry is being ranked through performance contracting? Even employees in private ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we rank schools, we reward the top performers because, at the end of the day, the objective is to improve the standard of education in the country. I can refer the House to a case where a member of the clergy called Rev. Langat, at one time, decided to reward the worst performing schools in my constituency. He rewarded a school called Tendeno Primary school and another one called Chepcholiet Primary School. He gave them Bibles. That single action changed the performance of the two schools. They are now performing very well. Last year, when ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: different situations. At one time, I was at Nakuru High School where we applied a system called “drive yourself”. The principal then was motivating us to perform well. When he was transferred to another school, he tried to apply the same technique and he could not perform. He realised that he could not apply the tradition of Nakuru High School to his new station. Therefore, we cannot copy the tradition of another country and impose it on Kenya, where we are still developing. We are still using performance indices to understand why certain schools perform poorly so that we can ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second the Motion. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this important Bill. Procurement is one of the very key processes in any Government or any institution. This is because one of the worst enemies of any production in any country is the cost of production. The main source of this cost of production is procurement. To make it very clear, this procurement Bill basically deals with public procurement, which is basically consumption. Procurement will either provide or deny Kenyans services depending on how it is designed and managed. Therefore, as we go through this Bill which is ... view
