• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the record, he also ought to withdraw because boys in this country are known and there are no boys in this House. Therefore, for the record, I urge and plead that he also withdraws. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I hope I will not get more distractions from the small and big boys like Hon. Mbadi. Corruption is a huge cost in this country and you have seen it when it comes to the growth in our infrastructure and delivering service to the Kenyan people.

• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: that we have is corruption. I was in a process of giving examples of a few countries that have been able to institute stiffer penalties against corruption and economic crimes and most of them have succeeded. China and South Korea are doing very well in combating corruption. I want to cite something that happened in Singapore in 1984 when the then Minister for Housing was seen to have been corrupted by the contractors who were doing the housing project in Singapore. When this gentleman learnt that the equivalent of EACC of Singapore was looking for him, he started looking for ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: enabling environment for the private sector and leave the private sector to do the bulk of the work, in so far as the growth of the economy is concerned. I know there are too many people who want to contribute to this Bill. I do not want to talk much because I had many minutes before. I know that this Bill will go a long way in delivering our country from where we are now and put it on the path of growth if we deal with the corrupt in the crude manner we ought to. I call upon Hon. ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. I have listened to the sentiments from my colleagues. I side with most of them because this Bill seeks to improve early childhood education for our children.

• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: primary or ECD, whichever way you call it, is not just about learning. It is more about growing. I remember that during our time, going to nursery school, as it was called, was not a learning experience per se . It was not about doing examination and graduating to Class One. It was an experience of meeting your buddies. It was an experience of experiencing much more than the curriculum would offer. Therefore, as we talk about improving early childhood education, it is important for us to focus on facilities that go beyond learning and promotes more of growing. Early ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I am elated because for the first time, we are going to standardise the curriculum of early childhood education. Where I come from, any ECD centre teaches what they deem best. Children graduate to go and face another standardised curriculum from Grade One. Therefore, it is only better that we standardise our curriculum from ECD level so that we can have basic standardised material to feed our young children so that they can be in the same wavelength as they progress to primary school. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of teachers of ECD centres. I dare say that we have improved as a nation because previously, ECD teachers would just be picked from the village. After the proliferation of many colleges that prepare ECD teachers, we now have many more qualified people out there. What we need is thorough interviews even as we hire them to ensure that we engage people who are competently trained to handle, teach and prepare our young children. I have noted in my constituency that we have many ECD centres located in places far away from normal primary schools. ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The ECDE is a main issue especially to parents. We have capitation and almost free primary education in public schools. We are paying a lot of money for students in high schools through capitation. But we do not take care of the parents who have those young ones in those learning institutions. It is very expensive in some areas and parents have to “cough out” something to supplement the county governments in employing more teachers. I am sure we will relook at this Bill so that we can improve it. Pre-primary children should be taken care of by the National ... view
