• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Pareno. As a country, it is time for us to come back to our senses. If you want to destroy the future of a young person, just mess with their teachers. The teachers of this country teach in deplorable conditions. Interdicting teachers because they are not comfortable or because one thinks that they oppose the Competency Based Curriculum is not right. In doing so, they are denying the children of this country their right to education, yet the Constitution states that they have a right to ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you Temporary Speaker, Sir. I expected the hon. Member to support my people. In this case he appears to be with some people who think that the only way to bring sanity is through dictatorship. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, insubordination is being defined in different manners. The reason why those teachers were interdicted was only because they said that they did not agree with that, and they did not understand it. Does it mean that when you do not agree with something, it has to be pushed down through your throat for you to be able to understand it? We have to be serious in this country. This is why I am saying that when it comes to the issue of us going through a referendum, it is about time that we seriously thought about ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this House must defend the children and teachers of this nation. If we force those teachers to go there and learn---. The argument being made is that in Kajiado, it is only 55 per cent of the teachers who have adopted this Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). If the rest do not understand, take the time to teach them so that they can understand and buy in. If there is no buy in, it will end up being like those big white elephant projects which were started in this country many years ago that no one supported. ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just curious whether that Statement by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has already been dispensed with fully. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: I just thought that as Members of the Committee on Energy, it is important for us to give our input. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the onset, I would like to welcome the students. It is quite interesting that we are talking about these students yet we have a Ministry of Education which seems to be misguided on how to build the future generation. I went to Narok High School which was by then very poor. I graduated with a mean grade of C+ and got admitted to the university. When I was in the university in the United States of America (USA), I managed to improve my grade to 4.0. Although a house that is built on shaky ground sometimes ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: This country is becoming theatrical. Today, a Cabinet Secretary is appointed and then he comes out and says, from today, everybody should go home. Where do they go? They will start knocking on your doors and we will not stop them from doing so. They will walk into your house and take away all the money that you are making. They are making misguided policies. I hope this House will stand firm and ensure that those students go back to college. Even if they are to refund them their money, the interest should be calculated on a daily basis for ... view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on the report of the consideration of the Warehouse Receipts Systems Bill (Senate Bills, No.10 of 2017) view
