    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance. I rise to support the Petition by Mr. Julius Wanjohi, concerning the instructors that were employed by the Ministry of Education under the Economic Stimulus Programme by the Nyeri County Government. The Transition Authority was a legal entity that was put in place to ensure everything was harmonized at the onset of devolution. The governments must speak to themselves that these instructors under this programme were employed to enhance the staffing at the vocational training institutions. I support that the instructors should be considered for retention by the County Government of Nyeri and they should also be compensated since they were engaged by the Ministry. The Transition Authority was to harmonize all these operations. As Sen. Mandago has stated just before me, all these staff were taken over by county governments all over the Republic. It is so then unfair that the County Government of Nyeri chose not to retain these staff. It may be unfortunate that the County Government of Nyeri may have put aside these instructors only to advertise and employ others rather than retaining the ones they have. That is why this must be considered because we have to be fair to these instructors. Somebody was employed in 1989. Having given services to the government and having given skills to the instructees, it is not fair that years after, they are not retained by a government that takes over. What is so peculiar in the County Government of Nyeri than other counties that absorbed the staff? That was the main purpose of the Transition Authority (TA) and that is what was done in most of the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, support that this is looked into, so that the rights of these instructors are respected and they be retained and compensated."
