    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): Hon. Senators, there is a Petition to the Senate concerning the recruitment, remuneration and termination of services for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers in Nyamira County. Hon. Senators, I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by residents of Nyamira County and members representing ECDE Teachers Association of Nyamira County concerning the recruitment, remuneration and termination of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers in Nyamira County. As you are aware, Article 119 (1) of the Constitution states that: - “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the Petition are as follows: - (1) That there have been cases of unfair labour practices by the Nyamira County Government against ECDE teachers. A case in point is where the ECDE teachers employed in the year 2014 were unlawfully terminated after serving for six years. (2) That there has been arbitrary stoppage of stipend and emoluments entitled to ECDE teachers. This has led to discriminatory practices on remuneration of the teachers, which in turn has resulted to poor performance and resignation of teachers. (3) That there have been disparities in payment of pension from Lapfund and no gratuity has been paid to teachers terminated by the county government. (4) That none of the ECDE teachers have been confirmed on permanent and pensionable terms by the Nyamira County Government since the inception of the Scheme of Service for ECDE teachers and ECDE Act of 2018. (5) That the Petitioners have made efforts to have their concerns addressed by the Nyamira County Assembly without success."
