• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been a lot of discrepancies and complaints regarding hardship allowances. For instance, you will find schools that neighbour each other, in the same education zone, with discrepancies. Teachers in one of the schools may be enjoying hardship allowances while those in the other school do not, yet the climatic conditions and the hardship environment is the same. I want to get clear guidelines on how the Ministry distributes the hardship allowance. Sometimes, hardship allowance is withdrawn from teachers in a school which has been enjoying the allowance. There is a school in my ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have given a specific example. I have a school called Rumanthi in my area which last year, was enjoying hardship allowance but this year it is not. In fact, teachers are being deducted what they were being paid.

She started by borrowing Ksh300 from microfinance institution to start a business. ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: November 8, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3533 We want more banks. I have been to several countries. Recently, we toured China and in one street we found over 20 banks with different names. We would like this country to have more than 400 different banks. This requirement of Kshs60 million is tough. Where do you get this money from? Even if you sell the whole of Western Province, you cannot raise Kshs60 million. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to come down on this requirement. Perhaps, the Minister will raise other conditions where doing this will be befitting. But ... view
