"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary for Education has just said that teachers are hired depending on who graduated earlier. I have a case of one Esther Nekesa Wanjala, a resident of Kware in Embakasi South Constituency, who graduated in 2013 but is yet to be employed. There are others who graduated in 2020 and 2022, who have been hired and yet, Esther is still out there without employment. Therefore, the Cabinet Secretary should ensure that the TSC recruitment policy is followed to the letter. Teachers who graduated earlier should be given the first priority when the employment opportunities arise. Some teachers are in their early 40s and mid 40s and yet, they are still tarmacking out there. Esther has applied to be employed 24 times. There was a year when she tried twice."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. My question is on hardship allowance. I remember about four months ago, I brought this issue to this House, and the Cabinet Secretary came here. My question was that teachers are running away from schools in Narok North and Central because their colleagues in neighbouring constituencies are beneficiaries of hardship allowance. The allowance makes teachers go to other schools. As we speak here, we have a shortage of teachers in all the schools in my area, and the reason is that teachers are running away to neighbouring schools. I think my constituency qualifies to be a hardship area. First, the roads are impassable. It takes a teacher two days to get to their school. Secondly, the schools do not have teachers’ houses. I come from a very cold place and that makes it a hardship area. So, I believe that we qualify to benefit."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will, quickly, answer the question on hardship areas. Hardship areas in this country are gazetted. The support that the Government gives through TSC or Public Service Commission (PSC) is based on the gazettement of an area as a hardship area. Therefore, the gazettement is the key that unlocks the issue of hardship areas. Without an area being gazetted as a hardship area, there is not much that TSC or PSC can do. What needs to be done is mapping the whole country to determine which areas qualify to be gazetted as hardship areas for both TSC and PSC employees to benefit. We need to have a harmonized way of determining what is a hardship area – a criterion that will apply across the board. The mapping has not yet been done. We are currently dealing with the hardship allowance issue depending on whether an area has been gazetted as a hardship area or not. On the issue of recruitment that we are talking about, replacement of teachers who leave service because of natural attrition and other reasons is actually done at the sub-county level. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
