"content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to request a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the promotion of teachers by the TSC. TSC advertised various promotion vacancies in the Financial Year 2024/2025. Subsequently, the Commission conducted interviews in January and February 2025, leading to the promotion of 25,252 teachers. While the TSC released a report on the outcome, this report only includes the advertisement reference number and the TSC numbers of those promoted. It glaringly omits the names of teachers, their stations, designations, and, most importantly, the criteria used to determine the promotions. The absence of regional, county, or community-level data on the promotion makes it difficult to determine whether the exercise met the constitutional threshold of equity, fairness and inclusivity. Further, there are concerns that a number of recently employed teachers were promoted over more experienced colleagues, raising questions about adherence to the merit and longevity of the service. Article 232 of the Constitution sets out the values and principles of public service, including transparency and promotion to the public of timely, accurate information, fair competition and merit as the basis of appointment, promotion and representation of Kenya's diverse communities. The current report by TSC does not provide sufficient information to assess compliance with these cardinal constitutional provisions. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

The report by the Teacher Service Commission details the number of teachers per county, the names and TSC numbers of the teachers promoted in each county, the positions or cadres to which the teachers were promoted, and the school where each teacher is stationed. 2. An explanation of criteria used in promotion, including the basis for distribution across schools per constituency and county and any affirmative action considerations. 3. Measures put in place by the TSC to ensure that future recruitment and promotion exercises uphold the values and principles of public service as enshrined in the Constitution. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
