• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek clarification from the Minister concerning a student who never sat certain subjects, but he was given grade "A". How is it that somebody never sat an examination and he got an "A"? Why is the Minister calling this a computer error? How was this information fed into the computer?

• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a country, we are definitely faced with challenges. This Government pledged a number of promises last time and some of them are being fulfilled. We want to appreciate that some of the promises pledged are being fulfilled. For example, free primary education (FPE) was promised to Kenyans and now free secondary education (FSE) is being given to Kenyans. However, it is about the quality of education. The question some of us who have been teachers are asking ourselves is this: Is the FPE really quality education? Is free secondary education really going to be quality education? ... view

I want to assure this House that as far as the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill that you have just passed is concerned, ... view
