• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must confess that I am really surprised by the reasons given for the students not to have reported. How long does it take to have a Council in place? We have very many able Kenyans who are willing to occupy the positions of the University Council. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was answered last week by the Minister. I do not know why it is on the Order Paper today. Since it is on the Order Paper, maybe the Minister has brought a different answer to what he presented last week. I do not know if it is on the Order Paper because the Minister changed his mind. Last week, the Minister agreed that we had a shortage of 167 teachers in our district. Today, he has come up with a deferent answer showing that we lack 63 teachers in the same district. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need clarification from the Minister in terms of the answer he has brought in today as opposed to what he presented to the House last week. I would like to ask the Minister for Education to re-look at Question No.73 on the Order Paper. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that Koibatek District has a shortage of over 250 teachers and that Uhuru-Kabiyet Secondary School which is set to present candidates in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination (KCSE) this year, has only two TSC- employed teachers; and, (b) when he plans to post more teachers to the district in general and to Uhuru- Kabiyet Secondary School in particular. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Minister has said that my district is one of those that will be considered tomorrow. Maybe he could just tell us the details as to, out of the shortage of 167, how many are they going to recruit as from tomorrow. view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course, I am not satisfied with the Minister's answer, especially after visiting the TSC yesterday. They informed me that, after the recruitment, Koibatek District will still have a shortage of 140 teachers. We very much understand the importance of education, and I do not know how we are going to perform in Koibatek when we have a shortage of 140 teachers after the recruitment. Could the Minister then assure me that at least he will give me 50 per cent of the allocation of the 167 teachers to be recruited? view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Motion by Mr. Kaino. Forests in Kenya have really been devastated. We do not want to overemphasise the July 16, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1859 importance of forests as a source of livelihood in this country. We know what is done as residents of this country to destroy our forest. That is the reason why I am here today to support this Motion. The Cherangany Hills Forest is just one of the catchment areas for Lake Victoria, like the Mau Complex Forest and some parts of our forest in Koibatek District. We ... view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that Koibatek District has a shortage of over 250 teachers, and that Uhuru-Kabiyet Secondary School, which is set to present candidates in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinatin this year, has only two TSC-employed teachers; and, (b) when he plans to post more teachers to the district in general, and to Uhuru- Kabiyet Secondary School, in particular. view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has acknowledged that we actually have a shortage of teachers in our district. I would like him to give us further assurance that, in the forthcoming recruitment, the shortage of 167 teachers he has referred to will be catered for. Secondly, since we are supposed to be under the so-called "Free Secondary Education Programme (FSEP)", in terms of tuition, to what extent will the Ministry compensate our Boards of Governors, which currently incur a monthly cost of Kshs3.3 million on employment of teachers? view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, education is very important to anybody's life. Of the shortfall of 12,000 teachers that we have at the secondary school-level, Koibatek District seems to have more than a proportionate share. We have almost 120 districts in Kenya. If we were to share the shortage of 12,000 teachers equally, every district would have a shortage of less than 100 teachers. However, in Koibatek District, we have a shortage of 167 teachers. I appreciate that the Minister has given--- view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the fact that the Minister has said he will look July 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1753 into the problem in the forthcoming teacher-recruitment exercise. I would just want him to assure us on that undertaking. view
