• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: I am talking about the primary list. The secondary list is still ongoing until the 15th of this month. I think we should differentiate between the primary list and the secondary list. I believe that hon. Members were more concerned about the primary list more than the secondary list. The district list for the secondary schools will be released on 15th April. With regard to the list that has been generated for primary schools, I have already indicated in my Statement, and quite clearly so, that we have noted some irregularities. For instance, there were cases where locals were not ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 18 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) to thank the hon. Member for Yatta who confided in me about the kind of staffing which was totally skewed towards favouring some applicants. This afternoon, I have taken corrective measures. Similarly, in other areas where I found out that there is one line of people from top to bottom, obviously justification cannot be carried out. This is why I have asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and they have agreed that they are going to look at that list afresh. They will now look at all the applicants who applied from that constituency. They ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Abdirahman should be patient to listen. I have already said that whatever method we use, we have since then discovered that we need to actually include a minimum of 25 percent of the locals being employed within that district. I am already addressing that issue effectively, unless he comes up with the specifics. I know what his problem is.

I am going to rectify that imbalance and we have asked the TSC to now ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 19 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) Isiolo and I know where the problem is. It is being addressed. I do not know why he is worried at this stage. With regard to the issue of policy, Mr. Speaker, Sir, in as far as primary schools are concerned, we shall employ teachers from the local communities. That is the policy and we shall rigorously employ that policy. That is in the guidelines. The only time you can depart from that guideline is when that region does not have teachers to employ from the local level. view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join hands with hon. Members in this House and say that, once again, we have a document that we can work on, and be able to increase the integrity of this nation. We will be able to create an enabling environment where we can all stay together as Kenyans, as people of one nation; where we can see each other as friends and not enemies. Therefore, this document will be an enabler for the future of this nation. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: God bless this nation. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not hear what he is requesting for. I will be too happy, if you do not mind, if he repeats his request and I will be able to respond. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, well, I can give it now! view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a very short answer. It is in connection with the teachers involved in the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) --- view
