Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Address. From the outset, I commend the President for his boldness and honesty in regard to the current situation of the country. You will realise the President was bold enough to ask for forgiveness from the Kenyan people. He did so because in one way or the other during his campaign period, he knows that he wronged someone in one way or the other. That was statesmanship. That shows the desire and the goodwill he has for his country. In his Speech, the President ...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this important Adjournment Motion. First, I wish to send my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the late teachers. Their deaths are unacceptable and very painful.

had very poor education. The idea of hiring untrained teachers will only worsen the problem. It is not a solution. I would rather have the Mover of this Motion suggest the closure of those schools because there are no teachers. If you say that you will have untrained teachers, what quality of education will you be providing there? It is not logical. In fact, we have spoken to some of the teachers in that region. They are ready to serve the people. It is like TSC is doing a forced withdrawal. We have spoken to them. In fact, some are ...

Hon. Members need to understand that terrorists are not ordinary Kenyans. These are people who create fear in the minds and hearts of every citizen in this country. They do not just pop up; they plan their things and make sure that they get the desired effect. What is the desired effect? To create fear in every non-local in the North Eastern region, including teachers, police officers and doctors, who are supposed to be serving the people. If you remove all the teachers, what will you do with the doctors? There are doctors and nurses serving in Garissa and other ...

If they mean to kill teachers, they will come and kill teachers in Nairobi. What will stop a lone gunman from walking into one of the private school compounds and shooting teachers? What will stop him? Nothing! Therefore, the idea of saying that we remove teachers from Northern Kenyan region is simplistic. It holds no water, and it is not the right solution. We are falling into the trap of the terrorists. Therefore, we must find permanent solutions. We must come up with forward looking strategies. Terrorists will be here today, tomorrow and every other day. They are evolving and ...
