• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a) Is the Minister aware that the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association levies fees on secondary school principals and head teachers towards welfare, workshops and seminars, and if so, what is the legality of the levies? Could he also confirm whether the Government has sanctioned these levies? (b) How is the Kshs36 million per year levied from teachers and Kshs27 million from schools utilized?

• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. In the response that the Assistant Minister has given, it is, indeed, clear that Kshs500 is deducted from every principal and teacher directly from their pay slips.

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank hon.

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I want to say that I was personally a beneficiary of this institution when it used to operate. I went to school together with my siblings. We were so many and many farmers would afford to take their children to school. As I speak, there is no farmer who can even buy a new tractor; but in the 1980s when this institution was operational, farmers used to afford tractors but they can no longer do so now because of the collapse of this institution. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, why did this institution collapse? It was because of poor governance and politics. I want to say that the Government should come in and salvage the farmers of this nation. We would not be talking about food shortage in the country if this institution was operational. The Mover of this Motion is asking the Government to just inject Ksjs1.4 billion, so that the KFA can be operational and we will not be talking about food shortage in this country. Other farmers have been cushioned. For example Kshs4 billion was waived for the coffee farmers. I know ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is not only farmers who were affected by the collapse of this institution. We also had employees who were working for the KFA.

They cannot even afford to take their children to school. view
