• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I ask my question, allow me to congratulate the Ministry and the millions of children who are finalising their Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examinations today. Unfortunately, the presentation by the Cabinet Secretary makes it clear that the Ministry seems as clueless as the children who are taking exams today. The children are not very sure what will happen after the examination. I am the parent of a child who is taking his final examinations today. With the confusion that has come up, where the Cabinet Secretary is saying that a Sessional Paper on ... view
• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: If we want to destroy a nation, destroy its education system. The Cabinet Secretary's submission confirms that our future is bleak. The Secretary says we have teachers without jobs, we have children without teachers, and he wants to export teachers. This is a mess. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is about the infrastructure question from Sen. Dullo. What is the criteria for allocation, and could we get a schedule of distribution of infrastructure funds from the Ministry by county for the past three years? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on 30th June, 2023, the PS for Education, my friend, Dr. ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ideally, it ought to have been a point of information. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that Article 177(1)(c) envisages that there shall be an Act of Parliament that will define the number of members of marginalised groups, including persons with disabilities and the youth. Therefore, this amendment intends to amend the Act of Parliament referred to under Article 177(1)(c) rather than amending Article 177(1)(c) itself. I thought that needed to be made clear because I was also a bit confused by the proposal that Article 177(1)(c) of the Constitution shall include, and then there are sub- clauses (1), (2) and (3). Ideally, that should be sitting in the ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: I quickly corrected myself. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and my Speaker of choice, I rise to support the County Government's Election Laws (Amendment) Bill of 2024 that Sen. Crystal Asige has sponsored. This is an important amendment, and I hope that this House and the other House will see it fit to pass this because it seeks to clear some inconsistencies in law that have caused problems in the past. Sen. Crystal Asige has demonstrated exemplary industry, knowledge of legislative affairs and rare intellect. Through her diligence, she has become an idol of many people and a model of what ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: We have even considered co-sponsoring the public participation Bill together, but we have been delayed by the passage of the Sessional Paper on public participation. As you have seen, almost every other process in this country has been held hostage by concerns about public participation. I do hope that we will put our thoughts together because Sen. Crystal Asige wanted to inject the disability aspect into public participation. This Amendment Bill seeks to give effect to Article 177(1((c) of the Constitution of Kenya. Article 177(1)(c) says – view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: “A County Assembly shall consist of the number of members of marginalised groups including persons with disabilities and the youth prescribed by an Act of Parliament.” view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: The Act of Parliament that has made that prescription is not one, but two. The Elections Act under Section 36(1)(f) and 36(8) has defined the number of Members of the County Assembly to represent marginalised groups as four. The County Governments Act under Section (7)(1)(a) has defined the number to be six. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has decided to take the provisions of the Elections Act. It has been implementing the four seats per county assembly rather than the six seats that have been prescribed under the County Government's Act. When the County Government's Act was enacted, ... view
