TSC Merit Lists Per County For July 2022 Mass Recruitment – Wajir

The Migori branch Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Executive Secretary Orwa Jasolo has urged the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to initiate promotion of teachers on equal basis across the existing job groups.

Jasolo said that teachers have suffered untold miseries from TSC, caused by haphazard promotions, with the majority of them having stagnated for long and eventually existing service in the same job groups.

The executive secretary noted that teachers in grades C3 to C5 who form 80 per cent of post primary school classroom teachers, were not allocated any meaningful share in the recent promotions advertised by the TSC.

He decried that majority of classroom teachers have stagnated for between five to 22 years in grade C3, yet only very few positions were advertised for the same job group.

Orwa emphasised that from a total of over 110,000 post primary teachers only 3,000 teachers are set to be promoted representing 0.2 percent, which he said was a drop in the ocean.

“Most of these advertised jobs are those at the higher grades, set to benefit only a few, while majority of the classroom teachers at lower grades will remain stagnated at the same job group, with neither a pay rise nor any form of advancement in their careers,” noted Orwa.

The unionist added that TSC must find a new strategy of including classroom teachers in the promotion matrix because they are the ones shouldering the noble responsibility of improving students’ performance at the school level.

He urged the government to pay teachers according to the CBA matrix signed between the union and TSC in 2017 to allow teachers across the ranks to fully benefit.

The KUPPET official also asked the TSC to initiate a clear path on how Diploma teachers can be promoted both at primary and high school levels.

TEACHERS SERVICE COMMISSION

TSC 2023 Teachers Deployment List in Kisii County (Masaba South)

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has come under fire over misappropriation of Sh720Million meant for recruitment of new teachers.

Commission chairman, Jamleck Muturi, on Monday, December 19, was at pains to account for Ksh720 million allocated for hiring 6000 intern teachers in July 2022.

The National Assembly Education Committee demanded answers concerning the recruitment of intern teachers and the use of funds allocated to the process. The MPs expressed their dissatisfaction saying that many unemployed Kenyans missed the opportunity to get the jobs.

“People lost an income that had been budgeted for by the government. Where were you, and why did you delay the recruitment of these teachers?” Hon Nyutu questioned.

World Teachers Day

In a response, the TSC Chairman explained that the recruitment was a delicate process that began immediately but was disrupted by national exams’ preparations.

“We started the recruitment process in July 2022 but delayed it a bit in October 2022 because of exams,“ Chairman Muturi responded.

The MPs were though dissatisfied with the response from TSC.

“Recruitment is not a long-term thing, we have been seeing recruitment happening on time. Why did the commission not recruit and funds were allocated,” wondered a member of the Committee.

The agitated members are now demanding answers on the status of the allocated funds and demanded that the Commissioners be surcharged.

“We want to know if the money is still there. Ksh720 million was allocated. It was supposed to have served Kenyans and not fixing some money in some bank somewhere.”

“Why does it take so long to identify the number of interns you need? It’s a matter of time before someone owns up and if possible the commission should be surcharged. We will surcharge you. We will calculate how the money was spent to the last cent,” wondered the MPs

In his response, Muturi said the funds are intact.

“I agree. These people have not started working. There is no money lost its just that Kenyans have not earned their salary,” the TSC chairman said.

The Commission is currently recruiting over 35,000 teachers; a bull of whom will be posted to the Junior Secondary Schools.

Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ezekiel Machogu has firmly reiterated that there will be no pay rise for teachers citing inflation.

The remarks by the CS throw into disarray the fresh demands by teachers as they push the government for a renegotiation of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

In a speech read on his behalf by Nyanza Regional Education Director Nelson Sifuna at the 62nd Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) delegates’ conference held in Kisumu, Mr. Machogu pleaded with teachers to shelve their ambitions for increased salaries due to the tough economic times.

Instead, the CS affirmed the state’s commitment to improving teachers’ terms and conditions of service and at the same time urged them to support the government’s initiatives geared towards bettering the education sector.

“I call upon your leaders to be realistic in reading the signs of the day, consult widely and ensure that all deliberations have the learners’ interests at heart, I’m sure we will reach an agreement and move on as a country,” Mr  Machogu said.

Terming the teachers’ demands as impractical for now, Mr  Machogu called on KNUT officials to put the interest of students first as they deliberate on issues affecting the sector.

KNUT and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) jointly appealed to the government to allocate an additional Sh100 billion to cater for the promotion and remuneration harmonisation for the over 300,000 teachers.

According to KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu, the CBA did not award teachers any financial benefits necessitating the union to agitate for a 60 per cent pay rise.

Mr Oyuu further decried that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) had stagnated teachers’ promotion for the last five years leading to low earnings by the tutors in the wake of the rising cost of living.

“We need Sh100 billion to address the yawning pay disparities between the teachers and administrators,” stressed Akello Misori, KUPPET Secretary General as he addressed delegates during the KNUT’s annual summit.

The new pay hike demand by KNUT proposes that the monthly earnings for the lowest paid teacher (JG B5) rise from Sh27, 195 to Sh43, 513, while that of the highest paid (JG D5) increase to Sh252,249 from the current Sh157,656.

The non-monetary CBA proposed to enhance maternity leave for female teachers to 120 days from 90 days while their male counterparts enjoy 21 days of paternity leave, up from the earlier 14 days. It also promised to fast-track promotions of teachers in arid and semi-arid areas.
