• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is done through our intakes. District schools are mainly local. However, with regard to county schools we have a formula of 40:40: 20, that is, 40 students from the district, 40 students from the county and 20 students from the rest of the country. That helps in integration. In our national schools, we take students equally from across the counties. Counties contribute equally to the national schools in terms of intake. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even certain districts are multiethnic and that helps in integration. Even some leaders in Parliament here insist that their district schools should serve only their districts. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Ministry has no outstanding salary, housing and medical allowances totalling Kshs171,838 for Mr. Mohamed Abdikarim. A sum of Kshs113,918 being gratuity, was commuted and paid to him upon his retirement. The cheque that was used to pay is No.17140, dated 18th June, 2009. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to table a photocopy of the cheque that was used for this payment. It was payable to Wajir Primary School. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cheque was written to Wajir Primary School. Can you have a look at the photocopy of the cheque? view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that piece of paper indicates “2008”. What you see is a typographical error. I said verbally here: “18th June, 2009.” Instead of “2009” it was typed “2008.” I have corrected it here. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let Mr. Abdikarim go to the school and he will be paid because that is his money. In case they do not pay him, we will order that the head of that school pays him because they have his money there. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of Ministry officers who sat for promotional examinations in June 2011. There is no promotional examination under Rapid Results Initiative (RRI). The RRI of 2011 was a strategy that the Ministry used to fast-track the process of promotion cases for officers in the Ministry. (b) I wish to provide the following information regarding promotion of officers in the Ministry: - (i) all promotion cases for Job Group “L” and above are done by the Public Service Commission; (ii) to date, the Ministry has processed promotions for over ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the criteria that was used was the number of years – at least three years of service – professional education or degree certificate, GTI, Senior Management Certificate and Kenya Education Staff Institute Certificate. Those were the qualifications that were used. But as regards the spread, it covered the whole country. We were not going regional. We were dealing with our officers within the Ministry across the country. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, not all of them have been promoted but it is only a small number. However, that is our frustration with the Public Service Commission (PSC). One hundred and eleven education officers have been promoted. Another 16 Quality Assurance Officers - non-graduates - have also been promoted. We are waiting for the PSC to help us in promoting our officers. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we called those officers and subjected them to a three-week course. That is the Rapid Results Initiative. They were from all over the district. They are our people and we will inform them. We just called them. We have the e-mail system and we will inform them when promotions are due to them. That is not a big issue. view
