• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: were able to employ them. Otherwise, all the teachers are supposed be employed by TSC. Having said that, we have had difficulties across most of the counties, in that the remuneration of the ECD teachers is not equal across the counties. There is no Scheme of Service for the ECD teachers. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other problem is that, there is no forum to negotiate for a scheme of service for ECD teachers, because they are not under one umbrella union unlike the primary school teachers who have an umbrella union called the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), for secondary school teachers. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: The ECD teachers across the country are going through very many problems to do with remuneration. Through the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), I have seen counties which employ ECD teachers and pay them less than the minimum that is required by law. Some of them are paying them Kshs8,000 or Kshs10,000 which is against the law. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I know that the Committee on Education is going to look at the grievances that have been raised by the petitioners from Kericho so that at the end of the day, our ECD teachers get justice. I know that there has been a struggle by the ECD teachers to get their rights, but until the time they get unions to fight for them, there will be really big problems. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of them say that if they speak, they are going to be sacked or victimized. I know that there are instances where our ECD teachers are suffering in silence. Most of the teachers are afraid to speak because they know that they will be victimized. However, it is high time that as Senators who are protectors of devolution, found out ways of protecting not only the ECD teachers, but also workers across the county against county executives who are employing them and paying them wages that are below the minimum that is required by law. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Petition. I know that the Committee on Education will look at the Early Child Education Act, which we passed last year, to see how we can assist the ECD teachers. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that guidance. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, you have mentioned about getting responses for our Statements. I have commented several times that I have not received responses for Statements from, one, the Committee of Roads and Infrastructure on the Chala-Njukini-Ilasit Road, five months down the line. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
