"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Of course, recruitment of teachers is undertaken by TSC, which is an independent Commission. The policy is that you recruit teachers who graduated earlier first, and not the ones who graduated later. Sometimes, that does not happen because candidates’ years of graduation are different in the different counties they are employed to serve. In order to resolve this anomaly, we are preparing amendments to the current Act of Parliament under the reform program that we have been undertaking through the 2023 Presidential Working Party. We need to change the recruitment policy into law so that it can be followed to the letter. So, my answer, as the policy holder of that particular Ministry, is to ensure that the policy is anchored in law so that it can be complied with. It is true that there could be circumstances where teachers who graduated early were left out for those who graduated late to be taken on board. As a Ministry, we do not have powers to punish TSC for such anomalies because TSC is an independent Commission. Therefore, we need to anchor the policy in law to ensure that that it is followed to the letter."
