• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am giving an answer to the Question by Hon. Aramat, if I am not mistaken. The background information is that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is established under Article 237 of the Constitution as a constitutional Commission with its primary functions being to register and train teachers, recruit and employ registered teachers, assign teachers for service in any public school or institution, promote and transfer teachers, exercise disciplinary control over teachers, and terminate the employment of teachers engaged in public service. The Commission is further mandated under Article 237(3) of the Constitution to ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I am well guided, Hon. Speaker. So I will start from Paragraph 1.7. The TSC and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) undertook a job evaluation exercise for the teaching service in November 2015/2016. The job evaluation recommended a substantive appointment of institutional administrators and placing them in institutions commensurate with their grades. Positions of institutional administrators are now substantive appointments informed by the individual grade of each teacher. On Paragraph 1.9., Mr. Kudate was assigned to act as the head teacher of Inkoirienito Primary School on 9th July 2018. Later, the Commission transferred the substantive head teacher to the ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Part (ii) of the question is on whether the TSC could provide details of the performance of the said teacher with regard to the school. The performance of Mr. ole Mereu for a period of three years is as per the table below: in 2017, the school’s mean score was 237.13; in 2018, 217.14 and in 2019, 301.55. The next part of the question is why Mr. Kudate has been serving in an acting capacity despite his stellar performance that has improved the school’s education standards. The answer is that promotion of teachers in public service is done competitively with ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to assure Hon. Aramat that we will confirm the issues he has raised. First, we will confirm whether the TSC gave us the wrong performance indicators, which will be quite interesting. We will also identify the person who initiated the transfer. We shall also seek to know whether he applied for promotion as he has indicated. We will confirm those issues and report back to the House. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We should be back to him within two weeks. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My understanding of the Motion we are discussing today is that it is on issues related to NHIF. I just wanted to know whether it is in order for Hon. Wamalwa - as I have learnt he is called today - to bring in issues that are related to a referendum that is still not even planned? Is he in order to bring in propaganda about Kshs14 billion that we do not know whether it will be the cost? Should he use this platform of the House to push propaganda that we are hearing ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to appreciate the kind remarks by Hon. Kiarie, even as I ignore the disparaging remarks by Hon. ole Sankok. I stand here to say something that will not be very popular. On 14th April 2020, six months ago, I proposed to this House that we form an ad-hoc committee because the challenge of COVID-19, I could tell we did not have the capacity to deal with it because of the effects it was having on all of us. Today, six months later, this House has not generated or initiated a ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Today, I want to challenge Members. Six months later, hundreds of Kenyans have died, thousands of Kenyans have had to undergo very difficult financial times. Today, as a House, as we leave here to go home… Hon. Sankok has said we have insurance. Yes, we do. Many Kenyans do not have. What solution is Hon. Sankok and every other Member in this House providing through this House? This is a house that makes laws for Kenyans. The NHIF can tell us they cannot do something. We are the ones who decide what can or cannot be done. We, as a ... view
