TSC should stop disheartening teachers

Teachers contribute enormously to the growth of Kenyan economy. They are the only civil servants at the grass roots and who provide jobs to innumerable citizens.

After the September fruitless strike, the stubborn Teachers Service Commission denied the teachers who were on strike their September salaries on claims they had engaged in an unconstitutional strike. The bitter tussle went on until President Kenyatta requested the teachers unions to withdraw all court cases and commence fresh pay talks after directing TSC to release their salaries. KNUT and KUPPET heeded to presidential agreement and withdrew all cases ready for fresh Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and eagerly awaiting money to be channelled into their accounts.
