steps of State House on Wednesday, November 11
“The meeting resolved that TSC should consider paying all teachers their September dues while teachers who were on duty during that month also get an appropriate compensation for their extraneous work,” Uhuru Kenyatta said through a statement from State House.
Kenya was mired in a teachers strike for the entirety of September, 2015. Teachers unions called the strike after a court ordered pay increment of 50-60%.
Public schools remained closed for more than one month, finally reopening on Monday, October 5. The TSC then refused to pay teachers their salaries for the time spent on strike.
In recent days Wilson Sossion, the secretary general of the Kenya National Union of Teachers said that teachers will not vote for Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017 after the Jubilee government ‘frustrated’ teachers efforts to get a pay rise.
