• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity you have given me, first, to register that we have regulations and rules on how to handle Cabinet Secretaries who do not appear for a session. I would request that the Senate first issues summons to those Cabinet Secretaries so that we are sure in the next session that they will be able to attend the Senate and answer to a few questions particularly on matters of health. There are a number of concerns and you know my committee has many Statements from all these Hon. Members on the implementation and ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is time they realised that we equally have a mandate to represent the people who have elected us the same way they have been given a mandate by the Executive to implement. Working together we can achieve more and better results than working at cross purposes. I submit. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and Senator for Nyandarua County for allowing me to inform him. Moi University is actually no longer the university with the highest enrollment.

• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Senator for Vihiga making allegations that Prof. Ayiro was chased out of Moi University because of tribalism. I rise under Standing Order No.105 because that university falls squarely in my county and I am a politician from that county. Can he substantiate? What is the place of interviews in terms of selection of vice chancellors in this country? view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you very much for the opportunity. I will request for extra three minutes because the matter of Health is in my Committee. I also want to comment on Sen. Cherarkey’s Statement. On the matter of health, as the Chairperson of the Health Committee, we have had opportunity to visit a number of hospitals in counties, including Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. In our meeting, we made a raft of recommendations for Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. After our review, the County Government of Nairobi City has made some improvements in the areas that we had already asked ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: I dare say that the national Government must take responsibility. The National Assembly has the responsibility of budgeting at least Kshs15 billion to get Moi University out of the woods that the Government made a policy to put Moi University into it. Finally, it is difficult to understand how the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), can decide that Moi University, with a declared capacity of 14,000 students, gets 6,000 students in an enrolment, while a small university like Kisii University, which was started the other day, sitting in some few acres of land, gets 16,000. What is ... view
• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the placement of students in public and private universities. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a status report on the number of students allocated to each public and private university in the last three intakes and the criteria used for such allocation outlining the declared capacity of each university versus the actual student enrolment. (2) State the criteria used to determine the cut-off points for each course and explain the variance of cut-off points for ... view
• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I was interrupted, I was saying that the Committee should: (4) Report on the number of teaching staff in all public universities and confirm compliance with the approved lecturer-to-student ratio. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: (5) Provide details of the number of students placed in private universities during the most recent intake, as well as policy documents, regulations, and approvals explaining the capacity and financial challenges faced by public universities as a result of this. (6) Explain whether public participation was conducted before the decision by the Government to place students in private universities. view
