Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I have moved around the country, I have been able to encounter these questions in many places. There is a place in Ndaragwa which is neighbouring Laikipia. The last time I was there was last month. There are teachers working in the same climatic conditions and hardship, but you will find a school which is one km apart, whereby one school is getting the allowance while the other one is not getting. This makes it necessary for people to apply for transfer in order to get that additional income. Now, the ...

responsible for that. Ours is to recommend and then once they undertake that process and have the area classified as hardship, we pass over the information for implementation. So, the Senator of Baringo County, I will only say that if out of the six constituencies, this one is not benefiting for one reason or the other, then you can submit the information. Thereafter, we will also submit it to the relevant Ministry so that it is subjected to the necessary process. Therefore, if it qualifies, then as a Ministry and even the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will be instructed to ...

Yes, the Ministry of Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action and Interior and National Administration are responsible. More so, when I got the case of Nyandarua I also forwarded it. When I was somewhere in Nyatike in Migori County, I also did encounter the same kind of problem. The hon. Senator can give the facts so that we are able to submit the same to the relevant Ministry.

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As Members are aware, ECD is the responsibility and the reserve of the county governments. However, we work very closely in collaboration with them.

We have a committee which comprises my Ministry and the Chairperson of the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Governor of Kericho County, Gov. Mutai. One of the areas that we discuss is on some of these issues. Actually, we are developing some kind of policy so that there can be uniformity in matters ECD. This is because what we find is that each county does its own thing. This includes the payment of ECD teachers. That lack of standardization and uniformity causes quite a bit of problems and this is a very critical stage as the hon. Senator says ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir and the hon. Senator for Bomet. One, there was a State function, I do not deny that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, completion of a project entails many things, including furniture and others which were supposed to be done in that particular tuition block. However, they might not have been done during that particular official opening of the building. Therefore, it cannot be 100 per cent complete and that is why we said 95 per cent. Sometimes, probably the head of State might have been in that particular area and they might have looked for ...

give them money. We have said that we require things to be done in a proper manner. It means that we do not want to give a contract unless and until we are sure that we have adequate funds to undertake the same. I will have to check with Bomet University in view of what the hon. Member has said, to make sure if there is any contract which has been awarded. What is the nature of the contract? Does the contract involve the component that was supposed to be done under the original contract? Have they not done what ...
