• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I came rushing to make a contribution to this Bill. Along with this amendment, we may want to consider broadening the Bill to embrace the aspect of continuous assessment. It is very important because some of those certificates and examination results are being politicized. If we have an opportunity for continuous assessment to be accommodated alongside the certificates, that will help us.

• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: There is also the awards programme. We need to stress on the awards programme within the examination process. It is where we look at the questions that have been set and say whether it is the candidate who failed the exams, the setter of the exams or the marker who failed. Some questions fail before they are even attempted. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of the rights of victims. Kenyans have rights. If a child was involved in examination cheating because the teacher initiated it, then that child should not be condemned. I support the idea of investigations, so that we can establish who initiated the process of cheating. I also want to support the issue of getting the students to be free from some of the mistakes that are made by school administration, examination inspectors and supervisors because the child has a right. We have incidents where children are denied opportunity to sit for exams because they are ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I want to thank my brother, Hon. Agoi, for giving me this chance to contribute. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I will definitely do that. I want to support the Motion because it an opportune time for us to go back to the people so that we can share their experiences; given the anxiety that is cutting across the country. The doctors’ strike is not a small matter because of the impact it has on Kenyans across all villages. There are basic needs that our people want. We have students who are out of school because lecturers are on strike. Some of them will not even sit for their exams. That means that they will have to go back to ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to start by commending the Committee and supporting the appointment of Dr. Jane Wangui to be the Chairperson of the CRA. The role of CRA is fundamental to the economic growth of this country. Appointing a personality like Jane is an indicator that we would like this Commission to be equal-eyed and to look at all areas of intervention in this country so that we can experience socio-economic development that Vision 2030 foresees. On her appointment, I am particularly impressed by her academic performance. ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The experience of this nominee is very good and we can only rely on it to get good results. I like the fact that she is a lady because it shows that Kenyans are sensitive to gender parity. We should encourage her by giving her the right atmosphere, environment, support and cooperation so that she can achieve. I am very confident that our sisters can do things right especially when their positions are not politicised. This is the time for the Jubilee Government to keep its hands away from this Kenyan lady who is well educated and has the right ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member for Kibra, Hon. Okoth, for having brought this Bill to the House and presented it with the articulation that he has done. One of the greatest achievements we have made as a country after Independence is the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Many people, including members of the public, contributed to the Constitution and made reference to torture and instances when Kenyans were dehumanised. There have been instances where Kenyans were dehumanised. We have always said that this is a people’s Constitution. This can be truly a people’s ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was wondering whether it was not intended to harass us. Thank you for that protection. We can create an enlightened society if we integrate this in our education system and other public interventions where people are seen as equal social partners. We can get rid of violence. We know torture is a result of violence and is promoted by violence. Violence begets violence. I would like to persuade my brother, Hon. Kang’ata, to look at these things differently. The African society is an inclusive society and we might not go the way of ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Young and old people are put in one room and this is torture. We should have a system where the police must be retrained. Reforms must start with the people who torture others, so that they can change their approach. Extraction of evidence from witnesses or suspects cannot always be obtained by beating them up. There are ways of getting these people to provide information without harassing them. I would like to advocate for the passing of this Bill and especially the creation of mechanisms for an enabling environment for reforms. These reforms should be in the general society and ... view
