As we discuss this, we must look at where we are headed to. Given the curriculum in schools and colleges, the types of jobs will not necessarily be formal as it was in 1963, when we got Independence. Education continuously ceases being the car that will give one a white collar job. Employment will be diverse, given the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). Somebody will train to become a gardener, while another person will get his employment away from formal employment. The sponsor of this Bill, Hon. Gideon, could also listen to this. We must not structure it to cover all ...

Hon. Speaker, when you will be considering them, you should also put in mind the fact that we were here before the recess and rarely did we have a full House even though the COVID- 19 rules were in place. That means that even the protocols you had put in place in the National Assembly have been overtaken by events such that, at no given time before we went on recess was the House full. When making the decision, Hon. Speaker, have in mind that the tents that were pitched out there to provide extra sitting space are no longer ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. As this matter is looked at, I would wish to say that there used to be stores where slaves were put before being shipped abroad during the old Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. These stores were called barracoons. Today, we have a group of people called agents. These are simply barracoons. What happens is that when these young Kenyans are sent to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they are actually completely sold at a price. So if they have to come back, the agreement that they make The electronic version of the ...

between the agents and the people who take these children is breached. So, I wish that, as a Committee, we look at the types of agreements that are done between the agents and the people in Saudi Arabia, who are basically slave traders.

I, the undersigned, on behalf of Messers Moses Mbora, Francis Yivo and Justus Nyakundi, being representatives of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Nairobi Branch and other concerned teachers across the country, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, on 22nd September 2021, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) rolled out the Teacher Professional Development (TPD) undertaken by all practising teachers every five years as mandatory refresher modules for renewal of certification; THAT, despite the fact that teachers are directly affected by the TPD policy, the Teachers Service Commission did not involve teachers in the ...

Therefore, your humble petitioners pray for intervention of this House to: (i) cause the TSC to undertake public participation on the TPD Policy as required under Article 232(1)(d) of the Constitution and take into account the views of teachers and stakeholders in order to build consensus on and ownership of the Programme; (ii) restrain the TSC from rolling out the Teacher Professional Development Programme, as currently designed, until the concerns raised by the petitioners are resolved; (iii)inquire into the circumstances under which the TSC selected only four institutions, all in the Nairobi region, to offer the TPD Programme despite there ...

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, clause 6 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “relevant government agencies” appearing in the proposed new section 10(1) and substituting therefor the words “Salaries and Remuneration Commission”. Every determination of salaries now in this country is determined by the SRC and not by just any relevant Government agency. So, I wanted to be specific. That is why I made such an amendment so that the determination of any payments or allowances be determined by the SRC and avoid generalisations.
