Teachers will enjoy a boom next week when the Government pays out the second and final tranche of their commuter allowances totalling Sh5.9 billion. The payout will complete the Sh11.8 billion negotiated perks that were spread out in two phases, with the first instalment of Sh5.9 billion paid out in July last year.
A circular by Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni seen by The Standard says all teachers will get their pay at the end of this month. "Pursuant to work agreement between the Government ... and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) of July 5, 2013 and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) of July 18, 2013 respectively, the final phase to harmonise commuter allowance is due for implementation with effect from July 1, 2014," reads the circular dated July 16, 2014.
