• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Assistant Minister for the answer he has given. However, he has stated clearly that there are two curricula that are going on at the same time in training students in our colleges. He has even mentioned that they are mostly private institutions. That means that there are some that are Government institutions. The two curricula that are running are the old one and the new one. They have been allowed by the same Ministry. We are subjecting our citizens to both trainings. One is accepted by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Question is very specific. There are students who have already graduated, but who are suffering out there because they cannot get jobs.

• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a similar Question was raised in this House recently and the Minister for Education is on record as having informed this House that no Kenyan student will suffer because of lack of free secondary education funds. Today, the Assistant Minister is saying that we should inform him of individual schools that have not received these funds.

• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question was: When will the money be released to all the secondary schools? The Ministry is aware of the number of secondary schools in this country. We have come to the second term of this year, and yet the Assistant Minister is blaming the schools for not submitting complete data. These schools are under his jurisdiction. Are we going to wait for the Assistant Minister to ask us which secondary have not received these funds so that they have easy time? That way, we will drag on forever. The year is almost coming to an end ... view

He has told the House that the disease was reported in the country in March 2006 and, since then, the Ministry has vaccinated 168,000 animals. That is the vaccine that the Ministry was able to acquire. Will the 720 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 29, 2008 Ministry not take a similar period with a disease that will kill 90 per cent to 100 per cent of our livestock? We want to see the seriousness of the Ministry. The communities in the north are worried that a similar disease might occur and ... view
