American students will have, that Laikipia child will shine. Since, he knows that is his only route out of adversity. Why do we build this curriculum, which I was asking my brother the Senator for Kitui and we are parents? My child is in Grade Six. Which exam will take him to Alliance High School? I have no idea. In the past, it used to be the Grade 8 Exam, which will take you to Alliance High School, Maseno school, Jamhuri High School and Shimo La Tewa High School. I do not know how my son will end up at ...

Yesterday, people were consistently for the people. Today, they are consistently for the ruling classes. We must build a culture where our children believe that it is only hard work that will take them somewhere, not a ministerial appointment or liaison with those in Government. That is a culture that we are lacking. Subsequently, someone can decide to go and procure a degree certificate in a university that does not exist. You can go to court and then they compromise the court and then they are in office. What then motivates a child to go and get a university degree ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise that I left my card in Vihiga County when we went to visit Sen. Osotsi. The entertainment was robust and the beverages were flowing--- So, I did not take care to come back with my card.

’: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will struggle to find out exactly where I left it, but Sen. Osotsi will do me the favour. Sen. Osotsi hosted us at a very sumptuous event. I want to congratulate him, our Deputy Party Leader, in the Orange Democratic Party (ODM).

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would prefer that my private matters not be discussed on the Floor of the House. That then could let the matter rest. Allow me to comment on the statements that have been issued. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

First, I would have loved to congratulate the delegation from Namibia for making the historic decision, a very landmark decision of electing a leader who is a very well- respected lady to lead the nation. It takes a lot of courage and strength for a population that is largely male to entrust a female to lead them. They have shown the way and I hope that Kenya will follow suit. On the communication that you made regarding the passage of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) by the National Assembly, I request the leadership of the House, both the Majority ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. Just like the Senate Majority Leader, I am an alumnus of Moi University, during its days of glory, when it was the second university, just before Kenyatta University was established. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are student leaders and I would like to encourage them. I was also a student leader. I was the Secretary-General of the Moi University Students' Organization. I encourage the leaders that they need to build a profile that looks at Kenya as a nation. We were with the Senate Majority Leader at Moi University recently and we addressed ...

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 ...

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. ...
