• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There is a directive by the Government to ensure that all certificates for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates are released, but there are challenges. There are some candidates who have sat for examinations, and who wanted to be recruited into the National Police Service but they could not because the head teachers and principals have not released their certificates. During the Third Reading, I intend to introduce some amendments to ensure that we put this into law so that principals do not hold the certificates of former students who ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the amendments brought by the Chairman. I am an expert in Information Technology (IT) but for the last two years I have not been practising. There are things that I have lost.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the amendment proposed by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. We need that Office to be independent of the PSC so that they can discharge their duties without any interference. view

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: This Motion is very good. This year, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology stopped ranking the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations. For those of us who went through the old system of education, I remember that when I did my Kenya Certificate of Education in 1985, ranking was there.

It encourages each of them to ... view

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your protection. I remember that while we were on recess, the newspapers analysed how Members of Parliament contributed to debate during the Second Session of the National Assembly. It emerged that some Members had spoken for over 1000 times. None of those Members asked why we were being ranked. Basically, that is part of ranking. Even when we compete for positions, each one of us is ranked from number one through to number last. The only thing we need to consider is improving the system of ranking, especially for private schools. They transfer ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will stop at this point since I want to give my colleagues a chance to debate this Motion. I want to urge them to be sober and support this Motion, so that at least ranking of schools can be reinstated. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
