• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Namwamba raised issues on standards and quality which I want to assure this House that TIVETA that has been established has taken care of that very well. That was noticed by other Members; we want to make sure that the standards in the middle level colleges are as high as what one will get internationally. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to mention that in June, 2012, I travelled to Canada to see the Director for Technical Training on the invitation of the Government of Alberta. We wanted to discuss the possibility of our youth being employed outside ... view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in thanking His Excellency for the wonderful service he has given this country for 49 years which is longer than the age of some of our colleagues. I want to thank Your Excellency for your commitment and dedication to this nation and I want to thank you on behalf of the education sector, in particular, for the reports that you have made starting from Free Primary Education (FPE) and Free Secondary Education (FSE) and the improvements that you have put in the university sector. view

• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: This Bill is long overdue. The establishment of an Authority to be known as the Kenya Sports Development Authority is something that we should have done a long time ago. You realize that the sportsmen of this country are self-made. We have not co- ordinated or managed them, yet they have excelled and given Kenya a name. If only we had this Bill before to organize them a little bit better, I am sure we would have been stars of the international community more than what we are currently. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Two things strike me in the functions of the new Authority. The fact that they are going to promote, co-ordinate and implement grassroots, national and international sports programmes for Kenyans is very important. Again, lack of co-ordination has led sometimes to some of our very good athletes missing out on very special events mainly because there was nobody to coordinate or promote them. So, it is very encouraging that this Bill has touched on all those sectors. The other area that the Bill has touched, which is very encouraging is the management and maintenance of our sports facilities. I come ... view

The way the youth of any nation are brought up and educated determines the future and prosperity of that nation. Kenya’s development plans have over the years consistently stated that one major educational objective is producing a properly trained and disciplined patriotic youth that can in turn make a positive contribution to the development of this nation. Technical and vocational training is, therefore, fundamental to the economy of this nation. view
