"content": "First, I would like to agree with the hon. Member on the first query he raised in his request as to whether there was a go-slow at the TSC. I want to confirm that there was a go-slow strike by staff members at the TSC between Wednesday, 6th April, 2011 and Thursday, 7th April, 2011. Secondly, the hon. Member sought to know why there was such a go-slow strike, and I would like to respond that the go-slow was caused by the following factors:- (a) The decision by the top management of TSC to promote and increase the salaries of five senior offices, in line with recommendations by the Ministry of State for Public Service vide their letters dated 11th June, 2010 and 4th October, 2010. This action prompted other officers, led by the Kenya Civil Servants Union (KCSU) (TSC Chapter), to demand that the TSC implements the upgrading of all the employees in posts with immediate effect. (b) The interdiction of six members of the KCSU (TSC Chapter) officials for professional misconduct. The officials were interdicted for contravening the TSC Code of Regulations by diverting Kshs467, 529, being the membersâ dues to the KCSU (TSC Chapter), between September, 2010 and February, 2011. This followed a complaint by the KCSU to TSC vide their letter dated 31st March, 2011. Consequently, the interdicted officers mobilised the rest of the TSC staff to support them, demanding that the TSC withdraws the interdiction letters unconditionally. (c) Members of staff in the Human Resources Department, who are currently occupying an open-conference hall, complained of a poor working environment. (d) The unsuccessful quest by the KUCS (TSC Chapter) to have its welfare group manage the Teachersâ Restaurant, which had been outsourced to a private company, through an open tendering process."
