• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: through a poverty assessment research or survey, which looked at certain factors. These were health, sanitation and electricity, amongst others. However, as much as the Equalization Fund was a good thought supposed to deal with those injustices committed way early, in 1965, just two years after independence, is looking at areas that have been marginalized for 50 years. We require 50 years and more for these counties to be at par with those counties that benefited from that Sessional Paper of 1965. That is not something that can be achieved in the 10 years of its application now. We take ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this report has recommended a project identification and management committees both at the national and county levels. This is a good thing because our counties will be involved in the identification and the management of projects that will be recommended to be utilised under the Equalisation Fund. Arguments have been made on the fact that these monies are too little to make any impact. However, depending on where we have come from, if we start at the sub- location and give little for each sub-location, it will amount to development of the location, then the former ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I want to thank Sen. Mwaruma who usually has the feelings of the teachers at heart. He has brought several issues before us which are matters touching on the teachers. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: I have no problem with teachers being trained to improve their professional capacity. This has been going on because it is not the first time. It used to be called in- service training. When it used to happen, it was not at the cost of the teacher and not limited to a particular university. The cost was met by the employer, which is the TSC, or the Government then. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: To expect a teacher whose salary increase you have frozen to pay Kshs150,000 tuition fee only is not only punitive but absurd, knowing that they have just coloured this and called it teacher’s professional development, when in actual sense it is the usual in- service training that teachers have been entitled to. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: What was the criteria used for choosing the three universities and the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) as training centres? What is special about these universities or areas of training when former President Kibaki and his team establish a university at least in every county? That would make it easier for teachers to access training centres and reduce the cost because they can commute the way the usually commute to school to go and attend the training, unlike now when they say that, for example, it will be offered at Riara University. How many branches does it have? At least ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: As I said earlier, it has always been the responsibility of the employer to identify and access the training needs and meet the cost. Where is the report with the findings that recommended that certain modules or topics are lacking in the teaching profession? Was that report shared with the teachers or their unions so that they are active participants in what we would call public participation? As stakeholders, were they approached and were the findings shared with them? Was the final decision on which universities to be used shared with the teachers or the trade unions, which are their ... view
