• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is such a fundamental question. I am glad it is coming from my good hon. Member, who is also a finance specialist. I did make recommendations to his Committee for sufficient funding for motor vehicles because I would like to supply transportation facilities to all county directors of education as well as district education officers. As soon as I get this funding, I am working very hard on it to convince hon. Githae, during the Supplementary Estimates, I will give them these facilities. I am also seeking to ask the Kenya Rural Electrification Board to supply ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is such a fundamental thing for the country and although you think there was no question, it is important that I tell you without fear that this country needs an additional 80,000 teachers. We only need to take the population of the children in school of 14.5 million and divide it by 40, and you will begin to realize that we face an enormous challenge. Right now, we are recruiting 11,000 teachers. I want to congratulate all the hon. Members in this House because we recommended that they be present during recruitment. There are a few ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have consulted the hon. Member and I wanted to communicate to the House the proposal I have made to him that I be allowed to answer this Question tomorrow. This is because it is a very important Question affecting a very important sector. I wanted to prepare and present a comprehensive position. I will be ready tomorrow. I am not ready today because it is being polished. I had received a preliminary answer which was not satisfactory from the technocrats and hence my request. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) According to the records available at the KNEC, all the examiners who were involved in marking the 2011 examinations have been paid, except two. The reasons for the non-payment of the two examiners are as follows: One of them is Mr. Ismail Manyasi. The money was paid through Family Bank, Kakamega Branch, but he claims not to have received it. The other one is Mr. Waweru Geoffrey. This man left the marking centre halfway through marking and never filled the claim forms for payment. (b) The list of the examiners who have ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member could give me the list of those claimants who say that they have not been paid, I would be in a better position to examine, inspect and confirm. My Ministry will not accept delayed payments in functions of this nature. I would like to assure the House and the country that if there is a teacher or examiner who has not been paid, so long as I can be given the particulars, I will inspect and be able to report to the House as soon as the payments are made. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have already asked the bank to go through its records, to confirm whether the money was withdrawn, because it does not make sense and the money was sent to an account that Mr. Manyasi had given to us. Once we confirm that the money was not withdrawn by Mr. Manyasi or anyone else, it is my undertaking to ensure that the money is returned to the Ministry and then paid to Mr. Manyasi in an acceptable manner. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, we will soon be presenting to this House, a revised KNEC law, so that we can update our examination systems. One of them is to ensure that when services are rendered to the KNEC, those services are paid for promptly as the Constitution requires for persons rights. view
