• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. At the outset, I support the Bill as has been supported by my colleagues. The Representation of Special Interest Groups Laws (Amendment) Bill is good idea and it has come at the right time. We are talking about women, persons with disabilities, youth and minorities. The marginalised need to be represented. I know in certain quarters people will say that they have already been taken care of elsewhere. We need to bring the idea of marginalised groups so that they are also represented here. The challenge is the identification of representatives ... view

• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Committee has done a good job. I support this Bill. My only fear is that even when we develop good regulations like these ones, their implementation is what raises questions. In this country, we have so many regulations. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This House passes very good laws and regulations. Many regulations have been passed in this country. The only issue is on implementation. Where the rubber meets the road is when we implement these regulations as intended. This is a good Bill. I only hope that when it comes to implementation, it will be done as intended. With those remarks, I support. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. Kanyi that seeks to establish testing and certification centers in every constituency in the country. I want to begin by saying that it is important that we get centers where those who have acquired skills and knowledge through working in the informal sector can get certification. I am aware that it has been very difficult for these people to get formal employment because they have no document to show that they have some skill and knowledge that they have acquired through training in the job. ... view

• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I rise to support the Adjournment Motion by Hon. Sossion.

• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The shortage of teachers is well known to everybody in this country. We have a shortage of about 104,000 teachers. We are facing a lot of challenges and inadequacies in staffing in our schools. With the current situation where teachers’ lives are in danger in some of the areas in this country which have a lot of insecurity like in the North Eastern, parts of Kerio Valley and in the North Rift, the best thing to do is to accept that this is a reality. Teachers have moved from those places, and pupils and students are not being taught. Therefore, ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, let us recruit all the locals from those areas who have qualified as teachers. After we have done that, we top-up the shortage with those who have already completed some level of education and are able to teach, so that our children can be taught. We are going through the same system of education and syllabus in this country. Students are not being taught now in some parts of this country. We are saying that we are waiting for something to be done, so that teachers can go back to those classrooms. It is high time we ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: There is this concept of delocalisation. There are areas delocalisation cannot easily work. These are areas prone to insecurity. You give somebody an opportunity to be employed in those areas, and he says that he would rather leave the job and do something else. In areas like that, TSC needs to give priority to the locals there to be recruited because even in instances of insecurity, they will not run away. They were brought up there and they went to school in those places. So, they understand the area. The TSC takes a long time to make decisions. Problems arise ... view
