Speaking on an interview with TV47, Kioni warned that involvement of MPs in the recruitment process could lead to nepotism, tribalism and regional imbalance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very dangerous re-introduction of nepotism, tribalism and regional imbalances and it is very easy to bring it in a very subtle manner,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kioni said MPs are calling out unemployed teachers demanding their details in a bid to help them gain employment. He said this involvement has never happened since Kenya got a new constitution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have taken over this issue politically and we removed it from politics so that we can allow merit to apply,&#8221; Kioni said.<\/p>\n<p>The official said the teacher&#8217;s recruitment process stopped being political to allow for recruitment by merit instead of favouring those politically correct.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that we do not have communities or those associated with the politicians of the day being favoured against those that may be in the field,&#8221; Kioni said.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as MPs have faulted the TSC recruitment formula, terming it as faulty and has seen thousands of qualified teachers locked out of government employment.<\/p>\n<p>MPs argue that the current hiring criteria has seen thousands of teachers aging before getting employment because Teachers Service Commission puts more premium on grades than on the biological age of candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the National Assembly\u2019s Education and Research Committee on Monday demanded a revision of the hiring criteria to ensure the biological age is considered alongside other parameters being used in the recruitment process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
