• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to support the adoption of the report of the Mediation Committee on the Early Childhood Education Bill. I thank this Committee led by senior counsel Sen. Omogeni; a man of no mean standing, together with Members of the National Assembly and my able Committee Members, Sen. (Dr.,) Zani, Sen. Seneta, Sen. Iman who were members of the Committee who managed to mediated and come up with this important Bill. I congratulate them for the job well done. I am excited that out of the mediation, we will enact this Bill. ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: the degree. I am happy that this teacher management was left to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to ensure that there is standardization of the teachers right across the country and at all levels of education institutions. I am sure that since this function was left to the TSC, it will standardize the type of qualification that is applicable to ECDE centers. In some marginalized areas where there are shortages of teachers, they will be able to carry out affirmative action, to ensure that no region is left behind without teachers. Madam Deputy Speaker, there were issues surrounding Clause 2 ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this is a big plus more specifically because, as I said, looking at ECDE centers, the landscape is a very rugged one. Every county is doing it their own way. We found out that there are counties that have gone much ahead; others are still fine, while others are very good in terms of learning and teachers. Some are good in terms of infrastructure, but the learning facilities are not in place. Others are good in terms of wash materials, while some are very poor in everything. This Bill has come at the right time, to ensure ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this Bill is very important for education because education spurs the economy in our country. It provides the skills that are critical in spurring the economy that cannot be developed better. Today, I presented a Statement where I was talking about Science, Technology, Engineering and Science (STEM) courses for girls. We realized that without such exposure, girls might not be able to achieve in that area. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: In the same way, when we look at this Early Childhood Development Bill, it speaks to the issues of very young children, who are starting their foundation in education. As I said earlier, we have to ensure that we align them to get the right kind of education, so that in future, our country shall have the best kind of education. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, once again, let me thank the Mediation Committee for a job well done. It is my prayer that this Bill is brought up to speed. I think we still have very few Bills. If we do not bring it up this week, then, it should be next week, so that we conclude on it. We shall be very excited for this. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Statement by Sen. Were. I thank her for bringing this issue to the Floor of the House. I also want to thank Madam Ruto for playing a very important role in ensuring that that culprit was brought to book. Article 53 of the Constitution stipulates the right to children‟s protection. However, vulnerable children will at times run to any home where they imagine that they might get refuge, more specifically, children from very poor families. This case of Bomet County was a very serious case because in most cases ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Motion speaks to children, normally referred to as playgroups; that is one to three years of age. During interrogation with the Standing Committee on Education, in over 40 counties on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres, we found out that there is a huge drop in ECDEs in terms of enrolment. One of the reasons is that these playgroups are not incorporated or considered in the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
