KNUT Calls For Prompt Payment Of Teachers Who Supervise National Exams
KNUT vice secretary general, Hesbon Otieno said failure to ensure this may see teachers give the administration of examinations a wide berth in future.
Otieno who was talking at Bondo township primary school grounds during this year’s Bondo KNUT branch annual general meeting said there was need for the examinations body to give an undertaking that a perennial trend where payment for invigilators, examiners and supervisors delays will be a thing of the past and that those who take part in the exercise will not have to push KNEC for the release of their dues.
The vice secretary general faulted the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) for delaying to remit statutory deductions to the various medical schemes that teachers have subscribed to, lamenting that this was seriously affecting the teachers.
The delay, said Otieno, has seen some of the service providers opt out of the deal thus exposing teachers to suffering.
He said that KNUT has engaged lawyers to work out a proposal to change the pensions act to allow TSC handle teachers’ pensions instead of the treasury’s pensions department. BY CAPITAL NEWS
