• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: annual estimates, incur expenditure, receive on behalf of the vocational and education training centre, fees, grants, donations and any other monies. That is settled in Clause 22 all the way from (a) up to (j). All of that is the role of the board of management. Clause 23 talks about the conduct and affairs of the board of management, how the board of management shall conduct their affairs and even when it comes to forming sub-committees for efficiency. Sometimes a board can form a sub-committee for efficiency and this one sets out the fact that the small sub-committees must be ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a few minutes ago, I said that the few counties we have spoken to on both Early Childhood Development (ECD) education and vocational training will realize that there is no proper scheme of service. Despite the fact that the county government is supposed to fund this and they have received an additional Kshs358 billion, there is still not clear cut methodology of enumerating the staff in those vocational training centres. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Part IV is on the standards and quality of education in these training centres. It speaks to the framework of curriculum. Clause 30 speaks on the framework of the curriculum as I said earlier should be developed by the national Government. Under Clause 30(2), the curriculum is developed in conjunction with the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). Clause 30 (3) speaks on the reviewing of the curriculum. The curriculum can be reviewed in accordance with the national policy and guidelines. Clause 30(4) talks about how the curriculum can be reviewed in consultation with the stakeholders. This must be guided ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 30 (5) speaks on the review of the curriculum that must be given by a gazette notice. The review of the curriculum must take up a frame that is offered by the national Government. In addition to that, Clause 30 (5)(b) is on information regarding the time, place, and manner in which information is obtained to amend the curriculum. Clause 31 speaks on issues that deal with education and training programmes. This Bill sets out and asks the counties to develop county vocational training centres that train on specific skills to fill the gap in those counties. If we ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 35 speaks to the preservation of licenses, certificates and registration which must be kept in such a way that any person that walks into these centres will be able to inspect these instruments at a press of a button. They must be supplied for inspection. It provides that any officer going into those institutions must inspect those because every institution must be able to keep the licenses, certificates and registration documents. Clause 36 talks about transfer of assets, liabilities and staff. The staff that were in the village polytechnics that are now turning into the upgraded vocational training centres ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: I move and ask my great friend, the former Minister of Education to second. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to congratulate my Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja, for the report he has given. I am a member of that Committee. I congratulate him because of the labour issues that we have seriously handled. When time comes to close business in this House, one of the Committee that shall stand is the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and, of course, the Committee on Education. May I challenge other Senators on the fact that Sen. Sakaja has delved into feeding programmes of ECD centres. I wish to encourage other Senators to benchmark what Sen. Sakaja ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: As the Committee on Education, we have been trying to standardize ECD centres across the country. We borrowed a lot from what Sen. Sakaja is doing. I wish to encourage other Senators to borrow that. This is because if we feed children, they will develop well and we will guard their great talents for the future. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Before the rise of the House yesterday, I had already started on the Investment Promotion (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.2 of 2021) and I was talking about investments in Kenya. I was saying that Kenya is a country that is strategically placed in East and Central Africa, has good infrastructure and high-skilled labour. Right now we have got 47 counties where investments can be done. The very reason why I thought of amending this Bill is because many of the issues that are affecting investments, majorly rotate around strategies, opportunities and challenges. Investors will normally ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, apart from these Petitions on land use, you realize that we already lost many investments with Tanzania because there is a challenge when it comes to issues of land in our country. It is expensive, and even getting it is a challenge. That is why we lose investors. Apart from that, there is lack of proper promotion of agencies and investments promotion performance despite the fact that these were laid out in this Bill. view
