President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed that teachers be paid September salaries and instructed that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and unions begin negotiations for a pay rise.

The decision was reached yesterday during a meeting at State House involving commissioners of TSC and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) officials to broker a deal on the long-running pay dispute.
