    "content": "“Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are- (1)That, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has allegedly introduced a policy on promotion of teachers to the position of head teacher, county director and sub-county director to be drawn only from officers who serve in Job groups L, M and N; (2)The policy has disadvantaged teachers in Kajiado County who have the requisite experience and skills an opportunity to get promoted. (3) None of the resident teachers in the county have attained the Job groups L, M and N. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate intervenes with a view to- (i) have affirmative action by the TSC for appointment to leadership positions of resident teachers; and, (ii) the policy be reviewed to give priority for promotion to leadership positions to resident teachers after which other teachers serving in the county could be considered. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.231, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes. Proceed, Sen. Mwaruma. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
