• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We will ensure that. I would like to give that undertaking that the distribution of teachers will be done equitably throughout the country. view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to talk about this Motion. For the first time, it was very refreshing to listen to the Mover of the Motion, who moved it so clearly and in a very articulate manner. I want to congratulate Prof. Olweny. I think he took a lot of trouble to look at this Motion and bring it to the House. I thank him. I also want to thank the Seconder of the Motion for three quarters of his contribution. His last bit had nothing to do with the Motion. That removed ... view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Education, I beg to reply. (a) There is no minimum school fees set. However, the Ministry has set some maximum amounts to be charged in public secondary schools as given in the Ministry's fees guidelines issued at the start of each year. The table below shows the current amounts charged in every category of school. Schools may charge amounts lower than those stipulated and, in fact, many are doing so. National Schools - Kshs26,900 Provincial Schools - Kshs20,900 District Boarding Schools - Kshs20,900 All Day Schools - Kshs8,500 (b) I am ... view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as books are concerned, they are standard and there is nothing anybody can do about their cost. So far as the other items are concerned, the lists differ from one school to another. There are those which are known as high-cost schools and, normally, the shopping list tends to be long enough. However, for national, provincial and district schools, the required items are not really that expensive. view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, currently, there is, indeed, dialogue between the Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs) and the Ministry to see how the recent quotation of Kshs40 billion owed to schools by students will be waived in order to allow students to have their certificates. However, nevertheless, whenever a student is required to produce or show that, indeed, he or she completed their education, the schools have got the latitude of certifying that the student obtained such-and-such qualification. view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sum of Kshs8,000 is the minimum. Every area will have to consider the orphans and, of course, let us not forget the criteria that this bursary has to help the poor, but bright children. So, if an orphan is, indeed, bright, schools should not restrict themselves to the Kshs8,000. view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make a few comments in support of this Bill. The written word or words heard on radio and television are believed by many people. It is, view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only want to make a plea, that you exercise your discretion to allow this Question to come again because I am expecting either the Minister or his Assistant Minister to come. view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. This Question originally went to the Judiciary because the appointment of magistrates or assigning them has nothing to do with the Ministry. Nevertheless, I will attempt to reply. (a) Bondo Law Court is served by one Resident Magistrate. Siaya Law Court is served by two magistrates of the rank of Acting Senior Principal Magistrate and Resident Magistrate. Ukwala Law Court is served by one Resident Magistrate. So, as you can see it is not that it is one magistrate who serves all those courts. (b) There is no time that prisoners ... view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, very serious allegations have been made about the conduct of the magistrates in Siaya, Bondo and Ukwala. I think it is necessary that the hon. Member produces evidence of drunkenness and carelessness concerning the magistrates who are located in those areas. Otherwise, I think he had better desist from tarnishing the reputations of legal officers. view
