• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue on the Floor was in the Budget Speech read by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. We debated that here and passed it. There is no Member of Parliament who said anything to the contrary. We are actually implementing what is in the ESP which is a stop gap measure to help alleviate the shortage of teachers in this country. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope I am not out of order if I remind the House that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance said on the Floor of the House that for the purposes of the Economic Stimulus Programme, 66 primary school teachers and 20 secondary school teachers were going to be employed per constituency. I do not think I am misleading the House because that is what was in the House. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is not right to say that the DEBs will not be properly constituted. Already, we have DEBs across the country which are constituted and approved by the Minister. So, every district has a DEB and all of us are Members of DEBs. This recruitment has been done successfully and most districts have reported to us that they have done it. Therefore, I do not see any problem. Whenever we have an opportunity, we shall do something more about the teachers’ shortage, because it is hurting the Ministry more than anybody else. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am ready to correct that as soon as I get the money. Even if I get the money today, teachers will be recruited very fast. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said that those constituencies which do not need that number of teachers and will have extra in terms of staffing will have those teachers taken to other needy constituencies. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the teachers are recruited by DEBs. Therefore, it is a district affair. But at the end of the day, each constituency will have 66 primary school teachers and 20 secondary school teachers recruited. But if they do not need all of them, then they will be deployed to other places. But in a situation where a constituency is split into two administratively, you will find that they are shared out. A given number of teachers in one part of that constituency that falls in the other district will be recruited in that particular district where that zone ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that there is a problem with regard to staffing in this country. But this recruitment is a programme, as I have indicated, from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance (Economic Stimulus Package). If we get money to recruit teachers normally through the Teachers Service Commission on permanent basis, we shall sort out the problem. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to seek the indulgence of the House to have more time to compile an answer for this Question. As you can see, part (a) of the Question needs information on constituency sizes. We received this Question yesterday in the afternoon. In order to get the constituency sizes, which may mean area and the population, we have to get information from the Interim Independent Electoral Commission. Please, allow us to give an answer on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize to the House for coming late. Otherwise, I was waiting for one small piece of paper to add to this. It is probably at the door. But I am ready with the Statement. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member has not even listened to what I am going to say. Let him listen! I wish to respond to Mr. Ethuro’s question on the just ended hiring of low cadre staff in my Ministry. I have here two tables which show the clerical officers and the subordinate staff who were recruited from the larger Turkana region, and I shall read them. For clerical officers, there is Ekiron Helen, a female who got her appointment letter on 8th July. A male by the name of Ethim Ikiru Bernard got the letter on 6th July. Mr. ... view
