    "content": "squash it because as per the law, workers are supposed to negotiate CBAs after every three years but the SRC has stopped it via a letter only. There is a group of workers in this country called the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers who have been volunteers over the years. Along the way, county governments picked ECDE teachers and gave them some contractual work. Today, the SRC, via a circular which I have and which I shall surrender to the Chair of this Committee, has reduced the salaries of those ECD teachers by between Ksh7,000 and Ksh10,000. In fact, they have reduced some of the salaries to below the minimum wage. That is the commission we are dealing with. In these Regulations, I want to tell you that the SRC was pursuing to have the control of regulating pensions of all workers in the country. This is against the law because pensions are under the Pensions Act, the National Treasury and other institutions that have been mandated to do that. Members should listen to this: In these Regulations, the SRC was even trying to change the formula of calculating pensions which has been there for several years. Therefore, you will soon realise that your pensions are calculated lower than they should have been because of these Regulations by SRC."
