• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter to the teacher was written on 21st April, and the teacher was informed accordingly. The teacher instead delayed to go and pick the letter. At the end of it, when he went to pick the letter, he had a quarrel with the PDE. Our letter was written in good time. He did other things which we do not need to get involved into and we have told the hon. Member. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Thurdibuoro Secondary School is one of our good schools. That is why we took Mr. Kauko to that school, who is also a very good performer and manager of schools. He will stay there to help run that school. view

• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: (a)Yes, I am aware of the serious shortage of teachers in both primary and secondary schools countrywide which now stands at 35,930 after recruitment of 13,860 teachers on contract. This understaffing includes Mutomo and Ikutha districts. (b)The Ministry has requested for budgetary allocation in the coming financial year for recruitment of teachers. If granted, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will allocate the vacancies proportionately to the level of understaffing in each county. In that respect, Kitui South will also get its share. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the moment, the Ministry is having an exercise of redistribution of teachers to take care of that. The hon. Member’s district will be taken into consideration. We are doing that now. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, that is a very good question. The teachers that we employ must be paid salaries. Currently, we have teachers that are not employed in this country. However, we cannot engage them in schools because we do not have money. If the Treasury gives us enough money, we will employ enough teachers. We are not happy with shortage of teachers in schools. Nobody is happy about the poor performance in this country. As I said, once we get money, we will employ and post teachers to the hon. Member’s constituency and other deserving areas. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have requested for funds to hire 10,000 permanent and pensionable teachers. We want to recruit teachers on permanent and pensionable terms for the next financial year. view
