• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I wanted to say has been said. The fact of the matter is that I know the hon. Member himself did not do holiday tuition yet he is here, a very distinguished Member of Parliament. Holiday tuition is a violation of the child’s right and should not be confused with remedial tuition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, knowing that you were also a distinguished teacher yourself, you know that when you do remedial tuition, you select those children who are challenged and they are normally the ones either at the bottom of the class ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I do not need information from my student. The fact of the matter is that when you do remedial tuition, you select those students who are not at the same pace with the rest. When you call all of us if we are 40 pupils in a classroom and give us the so called remedial tuition, I will still remain number 40. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the principal beneficiary of the ban of the holiday tuition is the poor. This is because, why are you asking a parent during holidays to pay for holiday tuition when the teacher is ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, please let me persuade my good friend that this is something whose time has come. In fact, in some schools and counties in Germany right now, the counties have now abolished homework at home because they are saying when the children go back home like in Kenya carrying books in a wheelbarrow they cannot even concentrate on the life that they should lead. You are only a child from age zero to 18 years. The greater part of your life is when you are an adult. As my good friend Mr. Ruto has put it ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- That the schedule be amended by deleting the word view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- That the Bill be amended by inserting a new sub- clause 1(f) to read as follows: “ view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to support this as firmly as one can do. I want to salute the committee and the Chairman for accepting this very fundamental departure from the 1968 Education Act. It is well that I go on record to say that more than one million Kenyan children who are entitled to basic education do not go to school partly because of the challenges that nomadic and other marginalised areas face. Therefore, I wish to plead with the House to accept this Council. It is pretty straightforward. It is very well laid out. I beg ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of The Basic Education Bill and its approval thereof with amendments. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, would you allow me to comment? view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I salute what the Minister is saying, but I happen to be a lawyer who has practised a tremendous amount of litigation for universities. In fact, I am the lawyer who represented universities in introducing the otherwise known as “irregular programmes”. Let me assure you that even if you delete that law denying advocates rights of audience, the courts will still allow advocates. On issues touching on human rights, the rights of the individual, this being such a legislative body, the court will find that due process has not been allowed, if the student is not allowed representation. I know ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to second this very important Bill and its amendment. The fact of the matter is that in the process of heavy legislative work and other activities, the country has forgotten that it was a big fight having to establish an independent office of the Registrar of Political Parties. Until political parties are managed by an independent organ that feels that it enjoys the confidence of not only the country but also this House, then we will not realize the political development and liberation that we wanted. Therefore, I want to salute Mr. Midiwo for ... view
