    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Report on the Plight of ECDE Teachers comes on the heels of a Statement that was brought to the Floor of this House by Sen. Wambua of Kitui County on 15th September, 2021. Apart from that, we have had many petitions coming to this House on the issues of the plight of ECDE teachers. My Committee was able to proceed with that Statement and called on board a number of stakeholders to answer to this issue of ECDE teachers. (1) We were supposed to 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) We were to establish who is responsible for streamlining the terms of service of ECDE teachers as they are currently employed are enumerated under different terms of service with some receiving a stipend instead of salary for work done since 2013. (3) To establish the progress made by the county governments towards implementing the drafts scheme of service of ECDE teachers that was validated by various relevant agencies or stake holders, including the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC) and the National Treasury. (4) State the measures put in place to ensure that county governments, including Kitui County engage ECDE teachers on enforceable contracts with clear terms."
