Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the Ministry’s policy does not include provisions for hardship allowances to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) tutors in Yatta Constituency, despite their counterparts who are employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) receiving such allowances? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I wish to state that there are different allowance schemes for teachers who are employed by the TSC and technical trainers who are part of the national Public Service. The current designation of hardship areas for the national Public Service is set out in the circular by the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service, dated 7th December 2015, under Reference OB/CABS.1.31A. A copy of that circular is annexed as Annexure 5. The area where Yatta Technical Vocational College is located is not among the designated areas or hardship areas. On the other hand, Legal Notice No.534 of 1997 under the Teachers Service Commission Act includes Yatta Division as a hardship area. A copy of the legal notice is also provided as Annexure 6. We are working with the relevant Government agencies, under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development, to streamline the framework on payment of hardship allowance. We have taken note to highlight those discrepancies to the Ministry of Public Service and Human Development for appropriate action. I submit."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The response is not satisfactory. It is actually discriminatory when you say some tutors should not receive the hardship allowance like others who are facing the same challenges as them. The Ministry needs to do some research to ensure parity when it comes to giving hardship allowance to tutors. I also have another question on capitation funds. In 2023, there were arrears of more than 22 per cent of capitation funds to my primary schools. Can the Cabinet Secretary explain why it is so? The second question is: We are in the examination period and my sub-county directors of education have no means of transport. I raised that question to the Ministry. Can the Cabinet Secretary tell us whether they are going to give a vehicle to the sub-county directors to boost their mobility as they deliver services in the sub-counties?"
