• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from my own point of view, what is very important right now is for the leadership of that affected region to have a closed-door discussion with the Teachers Service Commission and the security agencies and try to see as to how far the TSC has been advised on this matter. It has been found out that local teachers who are in urban areas are refusing to go to the rural areas. That is the information I have from the teachers from Mosop who are working there. Let the local teachers who are now enjoying, some of ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I found out from those who are on the ground that even the said leaders who are talking here do not go to these schools.

• 1 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Even when passing a word of condolence, they took it that the Government has taken the wrong step. I believe that TSC took this into consideration with the advice that they must have got from the security agencies in that region. Nothing happens in Government without the advice of the security agencies. If this advice is anything to save lives, then I support it. The CS is not a guarantor of security. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I be more particular about this matter: the presence of a CS in a region does not guarantee your security. We are talking about security across the country, especially the regions in the Rift Valley where schools right now are closed. Our concern is… view
