it’s expected for teachers, secondly it’s claimed that governors want political
mileage from employment of teachers.
Despite the claims Malombe said that his government has
allocated 26million shilling for employment ECDE teachers. He added that Kitui
County has already employed 2800 teachers for the last one year and that the
directives barring county government from employing early child hood education
teachers will affects only those counties that had not started the employment.

that the county government has only employed 260 employees and the rest were
absorbed from the previous local government which includes Town, Municipal and
City councils. He added that out of 260 appointments people from Mwingi north
