• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Education the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that headteachers at “Centres of Excellence” under the Economic Stimulus Package attended a meeting at the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE) on 22 March, 2010 where they were instructed to escalate the cost of building classrooms from an average cost of Ksh450, 000 - Ksh500, 000 (for a standard classroom) to three times that price and spend Ksh1,500,000 per classroom? (b) What was the justification for the directive? (c) Could the Minister take over the whole construction work ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not told us why he had called a meeting at the KIE on 22nd March, 2010. It was in that meeting where it was clearly said that the cost of a classroom should be Kshs1.5 million. Having constructed classrooms using CDF funds, it would be tantamount to stealing from parents and the country if one classroom will cost Kshs1.5 million. Why is it that all you are doing under the Economic Stimulus Package is shoddy work and much hidden deals that you are not explaining? The men and women you called are the ... view

(a) What informed the decision to make birth certificates a requirement for 2010 KCPE and KCSE registration, and why is it necessary to implement the same immediately? (b) What urgent inter-Ministerial co-ordination steps is the Minister taking to ensure that the issuance of the certificates is speeded up, considering that the Department of Registration of Deaths and Births is currently overwhelmed? (c) Could the Minister consider suspending the directive and communicate the same to all heads of primary and secondary schools as a ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am shocked to hear the Assistant Minister say that birth certificates are for identification of those who are registering for national examinations. What informs him that the student who will be having that birth certificate will be a proper candidate who will be sitting the examination? A birth certificate does not have a photograph of its holder. That is one. Two--- view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is insensitive to the plight of parents and students, in that, he insists that the certificates must be issued even when they cannot be obtained. Now that the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration view
