Isiolo Woman Representative Mumina Bonaya has faulted the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) over what she termed unequal pay for teachers in municipalities, warning that the current policy risks weakening education in hardship areas.

Appearing before the National Assembly’s Education Committee, Bonaya questioned why teachers in Isiolo receive lower house allowances than their peers in towns like Kisumu and Nakuru, despite facing similar costs of living.
