Hon. (Dr.) Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while the intention to enforce attendance in school is clear, I find Clause 8 (1) to be onerous and cumbersome on the head teacher. Requiring the head teacher to go into people’s homes to find out why kids have not...

Hon. (Dr.) Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I support the amendment, but I am just wondering how do we enforce and support the learning of ECDEs in pastoralist communities, if we implement this provision? Secondly, there could have been a neater way to do it. Since you have to notify and...

Hon. (Dr.) Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support the amendment. However, as it has been the practice throughout, there is no timeline which is given to the authorities to make a decision. They can take a year or ignore a matter all the same. I...

Hon. (Dr.) Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my Hon. Colleague is becoming notorious for taking all the opportunity to tell lies where there are no lies at all.
