27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I have been able to look into the nature of the Question that came before my Ministry. It is a very sad story that the Question on the deceased has been torpedoed from one Ministry to another. Originally from the Ministry of Labour, then it came to the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture, then it went to the Office of the Vice President and finally now the entire Department of Adult Education has been transferred to my Ministry. In view of that, I have studied the case very carefully and I have only ...

26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all humility, is the Member for Kisumu Town East in order to impute improper motives to a non-Member of Parliament without a substantive Motion in this House and, therefore, making judgmental decisions on behalf of this House? Could he withdraw and apologize?

12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I seek your indulgence because I have been away by permission of this House through your Office and I had assigned my Assistant Ministers to answer the Questions. When this Question came up, my Assistant Minister who was present was attending to a very urgent problem which had cropped up in one of the schools and was unable to be on time to come here and handle the Question and, hence, the remarks and ruling you gave on that particular day. I have since then been able to sort out how they should handle ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the KEPSHA is holding â it has, in fact, passed â the sixth annual conference at the Sayed Hemed Children Welfare Centre in Mombasa from 3rd October to 4th October, 2010. (b) The conference was due for early August 2010 but could not take place due to the constitutional referendum exercise. It accords headteachers the opportunity to discuss and share best practices in management of our primary education programmes. It also offers them the opportunity to share challenges and experiences on examination administration. (c) The meeting will ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is in the mind of that child is its welfare. This particular conference was discussing about the welfare of that child and how that child should be in an enabling environment in terms of learning and examinations, which will be held next month and not this month of October.

12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. K. Kilonzo could not have been far from the truth. This is the time when teachers are able to examine their weaknesses and strengths. They are able to share their experiences. They are able to assess the performances of the previous years and the challenges that arise in their schools, whether they are of a disciplinary or learning nature. Therefore, this has had a tremendous input. In fact, you can say that it has got everything to do with the capacity building of the teacher to perform well.

12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are no steps to be taken because they already know that no such meetings will take place outside vacations. The only exemption that was given this time was because there was a referendum in the month of August; therefore, it was extremely difficult for them to organize themselves since they were also required elsewhere.

12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
There was no such thing like celebrations. The future of the students is uppermost in the minds of our heads of primary schools. I wish you had also had the occasion to attend such a meeting. It is a very good meeting for our heads of schools. They are beginning to understand their respective roles as managers---
