"content": "Departmental Committee on Education regarding disparities in promotion of teachers in Bomet County. Hon. Speaker, reports following the recently concluded interview processes by the Teachers Service Commission have revealed a trend impacting teachers in Chepalungu Constituency and across Bomet County. Of concern is the stark contrast in promotions, where only four teachers from Bomet County were promoted despite numerous qualified candidates while 57 positions granted to teachers from outside Bomet County despite there being numerous qualified candidates from Bomet County. Regrettably, experienced teachers who have led schools in the county from their inception, were overlooked in favour of candidates who reside from outside Bomet County. It is noted that teachers from within Bomet County have been involved in running of schools, and significantly growing student population contributing substantially to the development of education in the county. In this regard, it is observed that external teachers often lack sustained commitment to local education development, viewing their positions as a steppingstone for career progression rather than development of education in schools in the locality. On 3rd November 2022, this House passed a Motion resolving that the Teachers Service Commission reverses the delocalisation of teachers and devolves the teachers’ deployment to zonal level, aligning with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and UNESCO laws and practices on teacher management and deployment. However, this seems to have not been implemented by the Government. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. Could the Chairperson provide the reasons for the significant disparity in teacher promotions within Bomet County and specifically, Chepalungu Constituency compared to other counties? 2. Could the Chairperson provide the rationale behind overlooking long-serving teachers in acting capacities during the promotion process? 3. What measures is the Government taking to postpone the deployment of teachers until adherence to established guidelines, including the ILO and UNESCO practices on teacher’s management and deployment? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding overflow of Masinga Dam affecting downstream residents. Masinga Dam plays a crucial role in generation of hydro-electric power for our country. However, following the ongoing rains, the water level in the dam have increased exponentially leading to overflow. This has severely affected residents of Garissa and Tana River Counties, which are situated at the downstream area of the dam. Among the hardest hit are farmers, who have suffered immense losses as their crops – including mangoes, bananas, watermelons, tomatoes, onions and chilies – have been swept away. The destruction of these crops will not only affect the livelihood of the farmers but also exacerbates the scarcity of essential food items The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
