• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am willing to withdraw part “a” of the amendment, which focuses on open and competitive process. The clause that the Minister had referred me to is importing Clause 7, which is similar to my amendment, in terms of appointments. So, I can drop that bit. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, however, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 53 of the Bill be amended- (b) in Sub-clause (4) by inserting the words “which shall be fair and globally competitive” immediately after the word “universities” appearing in Paragraph (e). view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what this amendment seeks to do is to ensure that the universities pay staff members in a manner that is globally competitive. Many of our university lecturers do a lot of good work but they are not paid very well. The salaries they are paid are not globally competitive. So, you find a lot of lecturers over-moonlighting, which sometimes risks their own lives. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 55 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clause immediately after Sub-clause (2)- (3) The Placement Board shall establish criteria to enable students access the courses for which they applied taking into account the student’s qualification and listed priorities. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: 52 Wednesday, 5th December, 2012(P) view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I am seeking to do through this amendment is to enable students access the courses for which they apply, taking into account the qualifications and listed priorities, so that we do not do ping-pong with students after they have struggled and worked hard. They should be given the priorities for which they apply. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if the Minister thinks that the amendment is harmless, I will just encourage her to let it pass, but I want to say that it is not harmless. I have actually given her a case of my niece, who got a straight “A” grade with very good qualifications, but she was pushed down several levels of prioritisation. She has been running all over universities because she did not get her first offer. She did not get the second offer either, which she qualifies for. She did not get the third or the fourth offers. So, ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Members who have spoken that the right to counsel and fair hearing is a constitutional right under the Bill of Rights. If you have to limit it, it has to be limited under Article 24 which we have not done. We will therefore, be doing something unconstitutional. I therefore, urge the Minister that sometimes you have to understand that democracy is very expensive in terms of time and in terms of cost. But that is the price you have to pay for democracy. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am presuming what he is trying to do is to show that when this law passes, then those with interim letters will remain with interim letters. That is what I was trying to cure because it seems to suggest that persons with interim letters, upon the passing of this Bill will immediately get charters, which is absolutely wrong because a passing of a law cannot give you a charter if you do not qualify for one. So, what Mr. Koech is doing really does take care of mine, so I can withdraw mine. view
