• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: We cannot solve a problem by creating another problem. Therefore, I persuade my colleagues, hon. Senators, that indeed, we have a mandate to protect devolution, which includes making sure that we are realistic. That the suppliers and contractors in the counties will be paid by voting in revenues that will be accessed and available. It should not be lost on us that the same people who are against the revenue- raising measures would still want increase of share of revenue to counties. As Kenyans, we must begin having a very honest conversation, particularly on development. We have a choice as ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Counties should then be able to use the automated processes to requisition funds and eliminate the aspect of traveling. Traveling is not limited to the requirement by the CoB. Sometimes counties and officers within the department of treasury in the counties use it as an opportunity to get a chance to travel. The motivation of traveling to Nairobi is very high because this is the capital city of the Republic of Kenya and the allowances are fairly good. We are happy as Uasin Gishu County because Eldoret is now a city. Sen. Osotsi and Vihiga County can take their conferences ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. (Prof.) Kamar that she is being misinformed by Sen. M. Kajwang’. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: This is to the extent that by the citation of various past vice-chancellors from Moi Universityy, Sen. M. Kajwang’ is trying to drive a certain narrative that I have said in this House I will be very firm. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: What Sen. M. Kajwang’ has conveniently done is to hide the fact that since 2003, Moi University was systematically starved of funds. This is to the extent that this year, as we sit here, Moi University was allocated a paltry 5,000 students at the expense of a capacity of 14,000. Therefore, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, my learned professor, do not be misinformed by your student who has chosen to take leave. 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. In fact, Moi University has the least number of students with only about 4,600 as we speak today. I thank you. view
• 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
