• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Education is not involved in the drawing of boundaries of districts. The information that we have is that this school is close to the boundary but it is in Mukaa District. It is actually in Kilome Constituency and I have talked personally to the District Officer on the ground. District boundaries are drawn by a different Ministry. So, we go by the boundaries as they are. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the hon. Member repeat what he wants me to confirm? I did not get that well. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two ways left for my colleague the hon. Member. First is to deal with the issue of boundaries. That means involving the community that is within that area and the Provincial Administration with regard to where the school is. Secondly, the two DEBs; one for Mukaa District and the other one for the hon. Member’s district should agree on where the school should be placed. After that, they will bring the minutes to the Ministry headquarters. We shall compare notes with the Ministry in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security and make an appropriate ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sent this answer last week; so, I expect the answer should have reached the hon. Member. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the existence of non-formal education centres or non-formal schools in the urban unplanned settlements of which they are all 1,000 schools in Nairobi area. (b) The Ministry recognizes only non-formal educational centres/non-formal schools that meet our current criteria for funding. A total of Kshs72 million has been allocated in this financial year and will be disbursed to these schools in January, 2011. (c) The Ministry is currently developing guidelines to mainstream all the non-formal educational centres/non-formal schools in the education sector investment portfolio. This includes assessment and ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I remind the hon. Member that KIE is part of the Ministry of Education. So, what the KIE has as a policy, is the policy of the Ministry of Education. May I inform the hon. Member that part “b” of the answer is very satisfactory. This is because these non-formal schools must conform to our rules so that they can get money from the Ministry. If Government money is not properly spent, it is this House that will summon us to interrogate us on how the money has been spent. Let me tell the House ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am in order because money requested by these schools must be given through an account. The money cannot be given as cash to individuals. That is what I am telling the hon. Member and the House. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was listening to me, I did not indicate in the guidelines any limit of amount of land as a requirement for registration. What I indicated as requirements are simple management issues. Since 2004, for the benefit of the hon. Member, the Ministry has been supporting the non-formal schools. Since that time, there are 410 of these schools with an enrolment of 89,569 children who have benefitted. A total of Kshs265.7 million has been used. So, we support view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support the Motion. As I do so, I wish to congratulate the Members of this Parliament. They have done a good job since the promulgation of the Constitution. They have put on track the implementation of the new Constitution though some Kenyans were having reservations. It is unfortunate that Kenyans are abusing the courts. A few Kenyans went to the court to block the gazettment of the report by Ligale. It is very unfortunate while it was said anybody with a complaint had 30 days after the gazettment. Also, a few ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mwatela was supposed to bring the answer. I do not have it. So, let me go out and call him to bring the answer immediately. view
