• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is always in Kagumo because that is the Ministry’s college. Whatever is done in Kagumo depends on what is requested by the college management. As I have said, through the Ministry of Public Works we have done 16 new class rooms and provided all the facilities I have talked about. That indicates to the hon. Member that we care about Kagumo just as we care about our other institutions. view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish the Member had allowed me a few minutes to also finish responding to his colleague.

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ICT is in the Ministry of Education’s policy today. So we are trying as much as possible to ensure that all our teacher training colleges (TTCs) have teachers who train our trainees to be very conversant with ICT and all that is computer literacy because when they are engaged in schools later in their lives and careers, they are expected to use ICT for teaching. So, the shortage of teachers and tutors for that matter is a national problem for us but we are trying as much as possible to ensure that we have enough. view

(a)Yes, I am aware that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) received a photocopy of Mr. Karimi Richard Mithamo’s promotion letter on 16th July, 1999.

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have an answer to that. This is why sometimes you can see it was all the way in 1999 when the verification was done and he should have been arrested that time. So today, if you want him arrested, we can initiate the process which I will do. view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you insist on it, I will take it, but we will pass all bucks to the right authorities to do further investigations and arrest the gentleman, if possible. So, you have helped us by bringing the case to us. view
