• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: So to describe him as a good man is a mis-description. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is factual but let me go to the point, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Murkomen in stating that your office should write to the IG and bring to his attention the import of Article 125 of the Constitution. This is not the only case. Last week when your able deputy was in the Chair, we listened rather sympathetically to my distinguished young colleague from Trans Nzoia and a very good friend, Sen. Mbito, whose father is a great friend of mine. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: He told us that they have suffered at the hands of a Cabinet Secretary that they are oversighting. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: The Cabinet Secretary has routinely ignored them or refused to give them information they want. We have also been guilty as a House in some way. If you remember, Sen. Linturi - I do not see him in the House – told the House that they were pleading and begging a Cabinet Secretary to appear before their Committee. How can a House that has powers of the high court plead and beg for a CS to appear before them? view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Therefore, we would want the Legal Department of this House, under the hand and seal of your office to send clear messages to all public offices that we oversight; that are appearing before the Committees of this House is not an option. It is not a choice and choices have consequences. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also wish to lend my support to this important Bill in furtherance of achieving the provisions of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Under the Constitution, Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) programmes are domiciled in the counties. Therefore, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Langat for bringing this Bill to the House in such a detailed form that will help in management of these centres. I have few comments to make on this Bill. First, I would want to make it absolutely mandatory for each primary school to have an ECDE centre so that the ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: imprisonments. This is because if people in the villages are fined Kshs300, they will not be able to raise it, they will just end up in jail. Therefore, I propose that Clause 7 be recast so that parents who break the law by not taking their children to ECDE classes are named, shamed and punished through community service. They could, for example, be made to sweep markets or cut grass in schools so that other children can see that they are the offenders and they be brought to order. However, I will not go the route that the Bill proposes ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: seen counties employing teachers and giving them letters designating them to particular schools with no provision that they may be transferred to other ECDE establishments. Clause 22 mentions that such teachers must be qualified and registered by the TSC but there is little mention of the curriculum standards of training teachers that must also be provided for. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Part IV on the management of these institutions, the Bill is just a cut and paste which is wrong and unhelpful. For example, Clause 29 is lifted to standard Bills about boards of management. When the Bill says ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the composition of the boards of management once again lists a person elected from among the parents, which is alright. It also lists a representative of the teaching staff. Two persons with experience in matters of nutrition working in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres, which is also alright. What has probably been left out by Sen. (Dr.) Langat, who is the sponsor of this Bill, are the trained nurses. This is because these are little children, and you need somebody who has some qualification in matters of looking after the health of children. You need ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: availability of resources allowing, each ECDE establishment should have a nurse to take care of these children. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is one school in my County which has now been elevated to a national school – a CBM school that takes care of children living with the challenges of disabilities. We started this school and I continuously thank the British Government’s Department for International Development (DFID), which has pumped a lot of money into it. They have built a first class, health centre in the school and equipped it properly with equipment for physiotherapy for the children with ... view
