• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have that information with me. The hon. Member wanted to know the number of officers we have in the county. With regard to when they were employed or deployed, I need to consult further to get the personal files and know the data. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the structure we have been working on is included in the Education Bill which is currently before this House. Across the country - for the benefit of my colleagues - we have a shortage of officers just like we have a shortage of teachers because of inadequate financial support to hire officers. As a matter of fact, we are supposed to have 1,696 quality assurance officers in the country but currently, we only have 866 for the whole country. We do not have enough money to hire officers. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not get the number of vehicles they have but at least each district has a vehicle. But just like other Ministries, we do not have enough vehicles although we try to manage the resources we have and we give them on the ground. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my wish is to employ ECD teachers because we are mainstreaming ECD in our policy. In the last financial year, we employed ECD view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Mr. Jones Muvengei Mukamba (TSC No.26438) was released by the Teachers Service Commission to the Department of Defence with effect from 3rd September, 1979, and that upon his release the TSC suspended his pension in respect to his teaching service and undertook to pay him upon his retirement from the Armed Forces. (b) I am aware that he has not been paid the pension since his retirement from the Armed Forces on 28th September, 2007. This is because he is yet to forward the documents asked for in ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the substantive Minister is the one who has signed the same copy that I have. That means he has verified that the documents that we want have not been submitted. All we want are the documents so that we can process the pension. We are not holding the money. All we want are the documents and then the gentleman will get his money. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to congratulate hon. Midiwo for this Bill. This is a legislation that will protect the Kenyan consumers, whose rights have been violated all along by traders in this country. In fact, there have been occasions when consumers have been sold dangerous commodities, commodities that are even poisonous to use. With this legislation, those unscrupulous traders will be dealt with according to the law. Conning consumers in this country will be handled properly. I beg to support. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also beg to support this Motion. We all know that we have very little time left before the national examinations are done. Furthermore, this Parliament has very little time although we still have a lot of work ahead of us. So, shortening the period for this Bill would be the best thing to do. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to give three short examples in support of this Bill. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this year, when the results of last year’s examinations came out, one teacher in my constituency was told to step aside because the results indicated that there were irregularities in that school. When investigations were done, it ended up that the parent of one of the candidates was the one who gave his daughter some written materials which the daughter took to the examination room. That tells us that people can be victimized for crimes that they have not ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Another example, which I want to indicate here is that sometime back, one of the Ministry of Education Officers who was charged with supervision of examinations in some part of the country, which I am not going to specify here was killed simply because he was strict and could not give in to those people who wanted to cheat in the examination room. It is good today we are going to give the KNEC the right legislation to deal with such cases. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, we are going to elections next year. There are going to be ... view
