In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) explain the circumstances that led to the suspension, in the months of March and April, 2023, of salaries of ECDE teachers in Kirinyaga County and the eventual manual payment of a fraction of the same in May 2023; (2) conduct a comprehensive assessment of the impact of this unprocedural salary review on the affected teachers, their families, their financial responsibilities and obligations and the education sector as a whole and apprise the Senate of the findings; (3) state whether the Orders of the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi, under Petition No. E026 of 2023, regarding the inter-parties hearing to resolve the disputed recommendations of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), was undertaken, stating the date and the resolutions, if any; and, (4) outline measures taken by the relevant Ministry to resolve this crisis and restore normalcy in ECDE learning institutions countrywide.
