    "content": "Principal Secretaries or Cabinet Secretaries, you find yourself earning less remuneration in terms of allowances? Nobody comes and tells you the reason. If indeed they did job analysis of each of these institutions, they should be able to determine what job group to give you. The reason we are in conflict with them is because of this issue of public participation and SRC just refusing to appreciate the CBAs which have been signed in this country. Also, accepting that after three years officers must be promoted is a problem for them. After three years, SRC should give the job groups that they have defined and the pay for each group. The hardest part was when they decided to determine the pay for ECDE teachers. If there is anything everyone here is proud of, it is the foundation you started with when you joined your ECDE class. That is the teacher who builds your foundation. In Europe, those are the teachers who are most acknowledged and paid well but in Kenya, SRC, which has women, discriminates ECDE teachers, most of whom are also women. Are we saying that this is a commission that is unable to quantify the job that an ECDE teacher does? As we reject these Regulations, we want to also reject other Regulations. We are telling the Chair that between 2017 and 2022, there are many Regulations that were passed that need to be relooked at. We have to now redefine in the Constitution that Parliament is the arm that deals with Regulations and they must be approved on the Floor of this House. It is time for the SRC to ensure public participation is taken seriously. As we launched open Government partnerships today, we want to see how we can work together with them in openness and transparency on how they deal with these issues. With those few remarks, I beg to support the rejection of these Regulations."
