• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me repeat what I said yesterday with regard to this Question about hardship allowance. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: I said that there are some problems with regard to how some schools were picked and there is need to harmonize that. This is already happening and we hope that by next year, we would have harmonized that issue so that there will be no schools being left out as long as they deserve. But that process is taking place and it will apply to the whole country. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we do with the newly registered schools is that we ask them to forward the curriculum based establishment to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). After they do that, then we give them teachers on the basis of the number of teachers available and the number of students registered. We are making progress with this. Not all schools have enough teachers, but we are making every effort to post teachers to the newly established schools on the basis of the number of students that are registered. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, we should have had a conclusive report by last year, but the mandate of the task force that is harmonizing hardship allowances was expanded to include all civil servants. We hope that by June, 2007, we should be in a position to have a common structure and criteria for all hardship areas in the country. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am already being given a prescription by hon. Wetangula, who says that we must prosecute those teachers. But let me give this Ministerial Statement on Tuesday, next week. view
• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House. I sympathise with the hon. Member because they had agreed with my colleague to defer this Question. This Question has been deferred twice because there was a contradiction between the answer that my colleague, Mrs. Mugo, had given and the one which was given sometime in May this year. I insist that we must resolve this contradiction at the policy level. We should not tackle this Question until that issue is resolved. I had spoken to Mr. Munya regarding this. I, therefore, beg for the extension of time to resolve ... view
• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just being reminded that given what Capt. Nakitare was saying, maybe I should not be sympathetic to the hon. Member, but ruthless. Nevertheless, we would like to have at least one week to resolve this matter. view
• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry of Science and Technology has recognised the importance of providing bursary funds for poor students in technical institutions, and as a result, we have forwarded requests to the Ministry of Finance for the Supplementary Budget 2005/2006 and the main Budget for 2006/2007. Although the Minister for Finance supports the idea, funds were not made available to support this very good initiative. Unfortunately, we will continue to support only secondary and university education. However, as soon as more resources are made available, this facility will be extended to technical and other ... view
