Lastly, the Ministry is collaborating with other Ministries and Government agencies like the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands, the CDF and Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF) for the provision of infrastructure, resource mobilization and capacity building for improving the education standards. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the tables are making sense. We could not get information in Marsabit Central. That is why it is blank. We have a team on the ground that is collecting information, which we shall use to update the data that we have in the Ministry Headquarters. Otherwise, some of the arithmetical errors are easy to correct. For example, for primary schools in Garbatulla, we have an error in calculation of 97 per cent. It should be 85 per cent. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Question, it is asking for the level of the girl-child enrolment and transition rates. The Members are not looking at those columns. Instead, they are looking at the averages for boys and girls, which is not the core of this Question. The transition and enrolment rates for girls are provided there. The Members’ concern here is a simple average which we can ignore and look at what the Question is asking. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that, that was an arithmetical error which I have corrected in my answer. However, with regard to the Question asked for the enrolment and transition rate for girls, we just gave additional information here. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Attorney-General, Amos Wako, crossed the Floor without bowing to the Chair at the bar. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that 16 classrooms at Nyanyuki CCC Primary School were condemned by the Ministry of Public Works. However, the pupils were provided with alternative shelter and are not learning under trees. (b) The school has been provided with tents by the District Education Board to shelter the pupils as learning and teaching is going on. In addition, the school has been advised to make a formal request for emergency support to the Ministry of Education view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot tell how long it will take. That is because we have not received the request yet. Once we receive the request--- We know that the classrooms collapsed. We shall act immediately to ensure that pupils have classrooms. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate because our officer on the ground did not alert the Ministry Headquarters on what was going on. But right now, we have a team which will go there next week. The team will get all the information that is necessary, so that appropriate action can be taken immediately. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will simply repeat what I said. We will do so immediately we get the request. Government money is not given out as gifts. It cannot be given without a formal request. That is because, at the end of the day, we shall be audited for any money that we give out. So, once we receive the request, we shall avail the funds from the Ministry. view
