• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: If you compare this amount with the money allocated per student in secondary school education, you will appreciate that my Ministry is doing very well in terms of the amount allocated to students. The Kshs15,000 per year per student that is given to public polytechnics, if compared it with about Kshs10,000 per student per year in secondary schools, I think it is good. I should be congratulated for achieving that and for implementing it without any prompting in terms of Questions being brought to this House or by any audit. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: The other question by hon. Chanzu is what we are doing to engage the trainees in practical training. I want to assure the hon. Member that, in fact, we are trying to promote the engagement of students with the private sector. You already know that there is the view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: component, which is facilitated by the World Bank and implemented by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance for people who are in tertiary institutions to engage in contracted work for practical training during their courses or even at post-graduate level. This is a matter that we have put on the table with the KEPSA and with the World Bank in our reviewed negotiations, so that it benefits for students who are in public polytechnics. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you for that question. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last year, we employed 1,000 youth polytechnic instructors through the Public Service Commission. This means that in the nearly 1,000 registered youth polytechnics in Kenya which are publicly owned, we deployed on average an instructor. Additionally, there has been the programme of top up grants for instructors employed by the board of governors. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government cannot sufficiently and adequately given the budget that this House itself approved for my Ministry meet the totality of the requirement 100 per cent of the youth polytechnic cash. This is actually my seventh time answering such ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very beautiful that the hon. Member asking is the nominated Member of Parliament, Mr. Yakub. This is the third Question he is asking for Coast Province to this Ministry regarding youth polytechnics and Kazi kwa Vijana. I would urge the elected Members of Parliament from Coast Province to pull up their socks with regard to putting up CDF-funded youth polytechnics. Almost 100 per cent of the youth polytechnics in this country were not initiated by the Central Government. They were initiated by communities. I want to note that about 46 constituencies in this country ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Nuh is not fully sincere on this. Any constituency that has established a youth polytechnic including Belgut of Charles Keter, Narok and that of Dr. Kones, have put money in youth polytechnics. Those polytechnics have received full equipment to cover all the courses that are provided. I speak with courage because I know in this House there are enough Members of Parliament who know this is a reality. They know that I or my colleagues have visited their constituencies to give equipment and instructors. If you are a Member of Parliament and you are sleeping ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know we cannot prove on the Floor of this House that he has actually done the same. I will challenge him to table me a copy of the letter he has given to the Ministry. If action is not taken within 48 hours, you can ask me. As I said and I want to repeat as I sit, in this House there are enough Members of Parliament from Sotik, Belgut, Mathira, Narok and Ndaragwa that know that we have actually been visiting their polytechnics to give equipment and to launch and commission instructors. view
• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me permission to contribute to this very important Motion. I would like to set the background of the points that I am going to make. They are five. One, when the Chief Justice was nominated without consultations, this House made a ruling. We saw people congregating as political parties. We saw press conferences on the stairs of Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC). Some of us, despite belonging to the side of PNU, stood our ground. We penned very passionate articles and we said that on this particular matter, we will defy the President ... view
