    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Committee on Education concerning the promotion of teachers and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) directors. In the Statement the Committee should- (1) State the number of teachers promoted from Job Group M to N and Group L to M in all the counties since 2017. (2) Provide a list of all teachers‘ promotions done by TSC since 2017. (3) Provide a list of all directors and their deputies in all counties and sub- counties. (4) Explain the criteria used in the transfer of directors from headquarters to the counties and vice-versa. (5) Explain how many TSC staffers were recently promoted from County Directors to Directors at the TSC headquarters, skipping the cadres of assistant directors and deputy directors. Madam Temporary Speaker, the thrust of this Statement is that there are murmurs that there is skewed promotion of teachers and directors. There is talk that the people who are being promoted might be from a particular community or communities. Madam Temporary Speaker, Article 35 of the Constitution speaks to the right to access to information. We might argue that since the TSC is not devolved and because it is under the Ministry of Education, it does not affect counties. However, teachers who are affected are our brothers and sisters who teach in counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is also talk that there are County Directors who have moved to Country Directors, bypassing other cadres in TSC like assistant and deputy directors. They are said to be from particular communities. You remember when we were vetting---"
