That said, this is a national issue that needs to be addressed nationally. Thank you."

A number of teachers, because of the 45 years rule, have failed to be employed. Three years ago, the Committee met and discussed the issue and we made it clear that a teacher needs to be employed even if he has two years before retirement. This is an issue that cuts across the country. Immediately we are back from recess – we are going today for recess – we shall furnish this House with enough information on the same. We shall invite the TSC, the Hon. Member and other interested Members to appear before the Committee so that we interrogate this issue further and develop a proper policy on employment of teachers, especially with regard to their age. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(C), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the state of the infrastructure of Kenya Power within Nyatike Constituency and its impact on power supply in the area. The electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure in Nyatike is currently in a state of disrepair across all the seven wards of the constituency. The residents have raised serious concerns regarding exposed, sagging and fallen power lines, dilapidated poles and malfunctioning transformers. These unsafe installations have caused multiple injuries to residents, especially during the rainy seasons, when the risk of electrocution becomes even higher. On Tuesday, 22nd April 2025, Mr William Onyango was electrocuted by a fallen electricity wire, sustaining serious injuries. He is currently recuperating in hospital. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. There are multiple cases of people being injured due to unsafe power lines and other faulty installations in the constituency. Additionally, Nyatike has been facing frequent and prolonged power outages, causing significant disruption to both social and economic activities in the area. The impact of these outages is far-reaching, with businesses reporting substantial financial losses due to the inability to operate consistently. Critical operations in hospitals are at risk due to the absence or failure of power backup equipment. The blackouts have also heightened insecurity in Nyatike due to non-operational street lights and security systems. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy 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."
