The Kisumu County assembly has directed the Early Child Development Committee to investigate whether the ongoing ECD recruitment has been politicised.
Speaker Elijah Omondi said Wednesday morning that the ECD committee should also report on the structures and policies used in the recruitment.
"You have one weeks to table report on the ECD recruitment and elaborate the terms of service for the teachers," said the Omondi.
He said if the report is not presented in time, then the recruitment exercise will be confirmed nullified.
In a motion tabled this morning by East Seme Ward representative Aggrey Ogosi on recruitment and deployment of ECD teachers, the exercise ought to be transparent where equality and equity should be observed.
"Mr Speaker as you can see, it has not been observed. We need to push the executive to table a policy document used to recruit the ECD teachers in Kisumu," said Ogosi.
The motion was seconded by the interim deputy majority leader James Omolo.
During the debate, interim minority leader Joshua Auko said that the motion came late considering that the recruitment exercise is on.
"The recruitment of ECD teachers should be need based as opposed to equality. Proper procedures of recruitment should be followed," said Auko.
Ahero MCA Maurice Aloo lamented that the recruitment was full of fraud.
"Out of the 20 teachers recruited, nine came from my ward. The percentage given to the locals is lower and this is a trend in Kisumu County," said Aloo.
Nyalenda B MCA James Were said that most of the ECD teachers recruited were from Kajulu and Central Kolwa.
