    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take that again. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the plight of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers in counties, country-wide. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Investigate reports that most counties pay ECDE teachers below the gazetted Government minimum wage, in violation of Article 41(2)(a) of the Constitution; (2) Establish who is responsible for streamlining the terms of service of the ECDE teachers, as they are currently employed and remunerated under different terms of service, with some receiving a stipend instead of a salary for work done since 2013; (3) Establish the progress made by the County Governments towards implementing the draft Scheme of Service for ECDE teachers that was validated by various relevant agencies and stakeholders, including the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), National Treasury, among others; and (4) State the measures in place to ensure that County governments, including the County Government of Kitui, engage ECD teachers on enforceable contracts with clear terms of service."
