    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Public Service on a matter that is fairly urgent and pertinent. I would like to ask why the Public Service Commission (PSC) has, since 14th September, 2011, insisted on termination of services of 2,660 junior support staff who were recruited by the Ministry of Education following the advertisement of their jobs on 15th May, 2009. This termination has been done in spite of an order of the Industrial Court to maintain the status quo, pending the final determination of the case filed by the Union of Kenya Civil Servants. This Statement should address itself to the following pertinent and urgent issues: (i) Why the PSC is perpetuating impunity and disregard of the law by failing to comply with the order of the Industrial Court. (ii) Why the PSC has backdated the termination of services of the staff involved, disregarding the period they had worked."
