• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) As part of its mandate, the Ministry would also like to recruit qualified instructors to be posted to all public youth polytechnics. This is in accordance with the Ministry's strategic plan, which proposes that 1,000 instructors be recruited every year for five years, beginning Financial Year 2008/2009. Once the recruitment process is finalised, Katito and Achego Youth Polytechnics will be considered along other youth polytechnics in the country. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as clearly stated, Nyakach Constituency has benefitted through Achego Youth Polytechnic to the tune of Kshs4.7 million. The twin-block is now almost complete. Landscaping and painting are the final light works that are being done. Katito Youth Polytechnic will be considered in the full realisation that we are also focusing on the other 210 constituencies, whose polytechnics also need to be identified and supported. Having view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: given Kshs0.5 million worth of equipment to the two polytechnics within Nyakach Constituency is a major step. On average, other constituencies have received one youth polytechnic support for the equipment aspect. Nyakach Constituency is actually among the very few constituencies that have received nearly Kshs5 million for upgrading of one particular polytechnic. I am sure that the hon. Member is thrilled. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the criteria used to employ the instructors is based on the Public Service requirement for minimum qualifications to the respective grades. Those who were employed by management committees in the various youth polytechnics have been given consideration to apply. As we have said while answering various other Questions in this House previously, we strongly advise management committees to give information for such instructors to apply, because the process is competitive. It is public and, therefore, the criteria being used must be acknowledged to meet the standards that have been set by the Government. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the last Parliament, all hon. Members were requested by the Ministry to nominate one polytechnic per constituency. Therefore, one polytechnic per constituency was to be the one that would receive the minimum Kshs1 million worth of equipment as I mentioned. There are many other polytechnics that also seek support directly, or through their committees, and even through their local civic leaders in addition to the efforts that are made by hon. Members. The Ministry is encouraging hon. Members to also work in collaboration with their councillors, so that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a fact and this is being done; we have the records in the office. Many hon. Members in this House, and of the previous Parliament, have utilised the CDF to add to the efforts of the central Government to upgrade youth polytechnics. In fact, currently, many councillors in the country are also putting the LATF money into youth polytechnics, in the full appreciation of the efforts that the Government has made to identify a polytechnic per constituency and top-up grants in almost all constituencies so as to support the instructors. Therefore, it is ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we requested the nominations of the youth polytechnics by the previous Parliamentarians. But a few, as tabled in the last Session, did not submit their nominations. We would like to work with hon. Members; I am inviting those from constituencies where there is no youth polytechnic to sit down with their Constituency Youth Officer, the District Youth Officer, and if need be with us at the Ministry, the Director of Youth Affairs, so that we may identify what we need to do together with you, and see what your CDF can do ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2006/2007, the Government employed 600 instructors to be deployed to the 750 youth polytechnics across the country. We will address that particular request from the hon. Member and see what is doable, given the availability, or otherwise, of the instructors who have already been trained. view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to rise and support this Motion for Adjournment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today offers a lot of refreshing mood for many of us, particularly given the history of involvement of many in this country, including the living and the departed, towards the new Constitution that has been sought for two decades. Therefore, the passing of the Motion to constitute the Select Committee and the previous Bills to jumpstart the making of the new Constitution is a very important stage towards national renewal and rebirth. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while that has ... view
