    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank you for your patience. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a There are two categories working in the public youth polytechnics, namely; instructors employed by the Public Service Commission and instructors employed by the youth polytechnics board of governors. Limit of salaries to the instructors employed by the Public Service Commission is guided by the established Government scales and the increment of their salaries is determined from time to time by the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) between the Government and the Kenya Union of Civil Servants. Those who have served for three years in one Job Group are eligible for promotion as per their scheme of service. Currently, those instructors who have served for three years in one Job Group have been promoted. The second category consists of instructors employed by the various boards of governors, whose salaries are determined by the respective boards. To support the efforts of the boards, the Government has continued to provide top-up grants to assist the management committees to meet their obligations. However, the responsibility of remunerating instructors under this category is the responsibility of the respective boards. (b) There is no delay in the payments of top-up grants to youth polytechnics. The Government provides top-up grants to the youth polytechnics on quarterly basis. During this financial year, my Ministry has processed grants up to the month of September and is preparing for the months of October and November, 2010. (c) The payment of terminal benefits for retired and/or retrenched instructors employed by the Public Service Commission is strictly guided by the code of regulations, Section R41(r17) to (27), which provide that an officer can retire voluntarily on attaining the age of 50 and be eligible for retirement benefits or mandatory retirement on attaining the age of 60."
