• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue about special exams, as the Committee, we saw that the duration that the students were out of school was enough punishment. That is why we recommended that the students should be allowed to go back to school immediately. When they go back to school, they should be allowed to sit for special exams. We saw that there was no need of them to be further suspended for more years. That is why we recommended that the school should just recall those students immediately. On the issue about ethnicity, this is a report that ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for that further clarification. I will start with hon. (Ms) Wahome’s. The issue about sexual abuse was raised. Some of the names that were suggested, no one appeared before the Committee even after a follow up and, of course, we did not also get any medical report within the health facilities that there was a report on rape. On the issues that have been raised by Members, I would like to tell this House that every University has a student hand book; every University is unique with their own rules and code ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: improved and what has not changed so that we can make sure that our universities are not also affected by the enemy of this country - that is ethnicity that affects all of us. I think I have tried to answer the issues and if there is any other clarification, the Committee is still open. Hon. Members can also engage the Committees outside this. Once we have already presented and it is a document of this House, anyone who wants to interrogate this Report, you can get a copy in Room 8. We can also table it so that we ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like the hon. Member to give the Committee two weeks. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is true that the hon. Member asked for that Statement. We, as the Committee, invited her and other hon. Members to come before us. We have already compiled the report and submitted it to Room 8 waiting for it to be scheduled. We also have six more Statements waiting. So, the report is ready and anytime it is scheduled, we are ready to answer it. I also have a copy and if allowed I can read it now. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No. 96 to request that this debate be adjourned. Listening to my colleagues on the Floor of the House, especially hon. Neto--- He indicated that there are some amendments he would have wished to move from the Floor of the House, but he was late in submitting them to the Speaker. Is it in order to give him a chance, so that the said amendments can be brought to the Floor of this House? Hon. Speaker, listening to hon. Members, this Motion has issues that are touch on ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Bill. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, I just want to assure hon. Members of this House that we have gone through this Bill, an it is good. Although this is the case, we will have some few amendments at the Committee Stage. I also want to give assurance to the examiners that their job is not being taken away. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: It is high time that Kenya had an umbrella body that can look at the various qualifications. We have had several instances where teachers go through degree programmes only for them to be told that they cannot teach in the universities because they did not take the right combination of subjects. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We have had issues with the engineers. We have also had issues with other people in other professional bodies who are not allowed to practise because they are told that they do not have proper qualifications. This is a win win situation for the people who are undertaking technical training. We want to tell Kenyans that they can now start from the so-called village polytechnics, which are now youth polytechnics, and go all the way to technical institutes and universities and get proper qualifications. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We also want our people, especially plumbers and others who are doing technical work to have a chance; we can recommend them and get them jobs outside this country. The only way that can happen is if there are standards and a framework for vetting giving them certificates that conform to international standards. view
