Question

The Member for Homa Bay Town (Hon. Peter Kaluma, MP) to ask the Teachers Service Commission: - (i) Could the Commission provide details of all primary and secondary teachers employed during the last recruitment exercise, including the names, ethnicity and counties of origin and confirm whether the recruitment complied with the requirements of Article 232(h) and (i) of the Constitution? (ii) Could the Commission explain the circumstances under which it failed to undertake the recent recruitment of teachers on “first-to-graduate first- to-be employed principle? (iii) Could the Commission consider absorbing all qualified teachers, particularly those in Homa Bay Town Constituency and the larger Homa Bay County, who graduated before 2012 in a bid to address the acute understaffing in primary and secondary schools in the said region? What affirmative action steps is the Commission taking to ensure that qualified teachers hailing from Homa Bay Town Constituency and Homa Bay County generally, whose employment has been unduly delayed are employed?
