"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the welfare of teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on fixed terms contracts. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the number of teachers, past and present, employed by the TSC who have worked on fixed term contract for more than 10 years, providing details on their entitlement to payment of gratuity or any such retirement benefits. (2) Explain the rationale for the TSC’s decision to maintain teachers on terms for prolonged periods without regard for their satisfactory service, providing details of any policy in place for transitioning from fixed-term contracts to permanent and pensionable terms. (3) Explain the discriminatory and unfair treatment by the TSC of Mr. Ephantus Ireri Kathagana from Embu County, TSC No.264267 and several others who served on fixed-term contracts for 20 years until their retirement, but did not receive any gratuity or retirement benefit. (4) Outline any measures put in place by the TSC to guarantee fair and equitable treatment of teachers on fixed-term contracts with respect to their gratuity and retirement package, noting that they offer services comparable to those of their colleagues on permanent and pensionable establishment."
