• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the dropping of that sub-clause on quality assurance. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the dropping of that clause in the sense that the word “quality assurance” is supposed to employ several mechanisms. When you are supposed to qualify and assure, you are supposed to give indicators of those qualities that you are putting in place in a particular university. I am saying that the definition of “quality assurance” is not necessary because it has been defined. This does not explain the various mechanisms that you use to qualify and assure a particular function. If you look at “Foreign University,” you will find that we are talking ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposal by Hon. Ichung’wah. As stipulated currently, offering degrees, diplomas and certificates has been a problem because there is no proper legislation or regulation. This one is very clear. Currently, we have a number of students in various universities and colleges who are undertaking certificate, diploma and degree courses. If this Bill is not brought to fruition, those students will not have a future. This Bill is supposed to protect them and ensure that universities give training that is recognised by all. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose the proposal by the Bomet County Women Representative in the sense that this is the Universities (Amendment) Bill. We have the TIVET Authority that is supposed to deal with issues concerning tertiary institutions. In my consideration, this amendment is actually not supposed to be here. It should be placed in the tertiary institutions because we cannot use legislation for universities to cover the TIVET Authority. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendments by the Chairlady that the Vice-Chairperson shall be of opposite gender. I oppose the Leader of the Majority Party in the sense that we want to ensure that the gender rule is implemented as soon as possible. I want to say this because we cannot allow a whole or almost half of the university population not be represented in the students’ union. Two, I want to put this very clearly. This House has set precedents. Our Speaker and Deputy Speaker are of opposite gender and the leaders of ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House it consideration of the Universities (Amendment) Bill, National Assembly Bill No.66 of 2015 and its approval thereof with amendments. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bill No.23) is very important because it is trying to streamline the early childhood education sector. This sector has been disorderly due to lack of a legal framework to govern its operations. Our education system is still developing. This Bill provides for registration of ECDE teachers with basic minimum qualifications. As we speak, most of the ECDE teachers have different levels of education. The Bill is categorical that an ECDE teacher must have certain basic educational qualifications, is able to handle ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill is essential in the sense that the management of ECDE centres across the country has not been taken seriousness. Even the structures in the ECDE centres have been relegated. Children at ECDE centres currently learn under trees and in dilapidated buildings. This Bill seeks to address that issue by ensuring that any child who is in an ECDE centre should be in a building that is standard. For example, both primary school and high school children should live well, be taught well, get the relevant learning materials and be well taken care of in ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the Report. I congratulate Hon. Members of PAC for the work well-done. I will also want to say that as a watchdog over Government, this Committee has done a lot. It has tried as much as possible to ensure the backlog we used to have in the Public Accounts Committees is cleared. The Committee has worked long hours, throughout the weekends and most of the evenings to ensure that this Report is brought before this House. I would like to say that the accounts as indicated by ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Some of the pending bills are caused by failure to follow the law. Pending bills are supposed to be a first charge in every Government expenditure. Those are some of the things we need to make sure we follow so that the Government does not lose a lot of money, especially in paying a lot of interest, by ensuring that those who the Government owes money are paid on time. I support this Report. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
