Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we went round the whole country telling Kenyans that this was a very good Constitution. Therefore, it is important that even as we discuss this Bill, the form and spirit of the Constitution that we passed must remain.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, also under Section 10 on ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Article 79; we should have a complete Bill, and which does not contradict certain sections of Chapter Six.

• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Minister. One of the things that we need as a country is to ensure that this Constitution is fully implemented. This Bill goes a long way to ensure that in the teaching sector, the constitution is implemented as we passed it in 2010.
