• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support, but with reservations. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Point of information, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform Hon. 001 with his concurrence. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Hon. Sankok. I want to inform Hon. 001 that donations are highlighted as key enablers of corruption. If Hon. Sankok were to care to check the modules of the International Anti-Corruption Academy, he will find that the major risks, as Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker had indicated earlier, are donations. I want to inform him that it might not work in his interest to pronounce himself as a Member of the Tanga Tanga Movement in this House on donations, especially on anti-corruption issues. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for granting me this opportunity. I am not rising to speak about my case and in fact, I did not anticipate it would be raised. We are talking about impunity creeping into public offices and this is just one of the many cases. We have several institutions like the TSC which has disobeyed close to 10 court orders and rulings. The Registrar of Trade Unions has blatantly disobeyed some court directives and rulings. The latest has been stated and the list is long. What we are raising here is not about us as individuals, but ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I propose that this matter should go to the Departmental Committees on Administration and National Security and Justice and Legal Affairs, and we get the report as soon as possible. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for granting me this opportunity. I rise to support the Bill before the House and thank the Departmental Committee on Education and Research for strongly concurring with the originators of the Bill - the Senate. This is a very historic Bill particularly in the history of education and development in this country. The very strong foundation of education is in quality ECD. In the event of a nation running a poorly managed ECD system, then it progressively has challenges across the board in education. Looking at the history of the efforts the country has ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: qualifications to teach ECD. We have seen in the recent struggle between who to employ between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and counties. There have been different names assigned to teachers. When the county governments realised that the mandate was moving to the TSC, they changed names of ECD teachers to care-givers, babysitters and all manner of names. That is indignity. I believe that, upon the enactment of this Bill, the teacher teaching at ECD will be treated with dignity and recognised as a teacher. The second aspect that needs to be addressed is quality learning resources. That is another ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak on this important Bill. At the outset, I support the Bill. I thank the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and the Chair. As we have heard a number of Members mention, it is extremely important that we have a law or Bill that will set out standards and give clear procedures or principles that must be followed when we are dealing with an area that is as important as early childhood education. It is clear, as we have seen in the Bill that we will have ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: awareness or implementation of those policy areas. I say this because Member after Member has spoken about it. As we look at the manner in which the legislation will help us address issues of standards, we see that there are glaring challenges. There is lack of properly ventilated classrooms. We do not have suitable spaces for children to play. There is not so much focus on materials. We have also failed to recognise that, at this age, a key factor is nutrition. Many children do not do well in cognitive development because they might not have enough food where they ... view
