A section of parents have come out to strongly castigate the decision by some schools in Trans Nzoia to send form four students home to collect school fees balances with less than four weeks to the commencement of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, examinations. Yesterday, a large number of students was spotted in various locations boarding vehicles home after being sent away from schools.
Speaking to the media, today, the angry parents said chasing the students home at this time could hamper the kids’ preparations for the final examinations. “It is sad to meet a form four student on the road, who has been sent to collect a fees balance of as little as Ksh. 1,000”, said one of the parents, today while speaking to the media. The parents are urging the head teachers not to send the students home at this critical time of the year and have called upon the Education Ministry Cabinet Secretary, Amina Mohammed, to step in and intervene. This happens even as the Ministry of Education announced, yesterday, that they had released tranche three of the free Secondary and primary education funds. Read more details here….The Government has finally released FSE and FPE funds for term 3 ,2018.
But, in a rejoinder today, most heads who spoke to our newsroom indicated that the Education Ministry was just playing Public relations as there are no monies in the accounts yet, as claimed by PS Kipsang. “I have gone to the bank to check and withdraw the FSE funds, today, but to my surprise the said funds have not reflected in the accounts yet. Creditors and other suppliers are on my neck wanting me to clear their debts”. Said a school head who requested for anonymity.
The Trans Nzoia parents who are yet to receive payment for the maize they supplied to the National Cereals and Produce Board, NCPB, said chasing students home from school will see them lose a lot in terms of syllabus coverage and revision. Some parents faulted the criteria being used by Constituency Development Boards, CDF, and Counties to award education bursaries as most monies benefitted kids from rich families; who are not needy after all.
The parents are now urging the schools’ heads to give them more time to pay the fees balances after getting payment from the NCPB. Yesterday, the Education PS, Dr. Belio Kipsang, said concrete plans had been put in place to ensure that all the candidates sit for the tests under conducive environments.
Elsewhere, the Parliamentary Committee on Education has protested against the decision by the Ministry of Education cabinet Secretary, Ambassador Amina Mohammed, for snubbing their summons. Led by Hon. Julius Melly, the Tinderet Member of Parliament who is also the chair to the committee, the MPs said they had summoned CS Amina to shed more light on the fate of the over 4,000 students affected by insecurity in various parts of the country. CS Amina, who was, also, required to give more details on the Ministry’s preparations for the forth coming National examinations, is said to be out of the country and has requested the MPs to reschedule the meeting to Thursday the 4th of October, 2018.

The infuriated MPs, at the same time, criticized the Chairman to the Kenya National Examination Council’s decision to list examination cheating hotpots, a move that has also been vehemently opposed by local members more so from the Kisii region, that was mentioned in the list. Read more details here…Local officials in Kisii protest against Magoha’s listing of Kisii as an exam cheating hot spot
speaking to the press at Parliament buildings, today, the MPs said it is discriminating for the KNEC chair, Prof. Magoha, to profile the mentioned areas saying such a move has caused unnecessary anxiety and panic among the students and parents; from the mentioned areas. The Legislators asked Prof. Magoha to immediately name the over thirty schools being investigated for alleged examinations malpractices.
President Uhuru Kenyatta today at State House, Nairobi signed into law the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2020.
The new tax law amends several statutes to cushion the economy and Kenyans against the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic as announced by the Head of State.
The Amendment Bill, which was published on 30th March 2020, has amended tax-related laws in Kenya including the Income Tax Act (CAP 470), the Value Added Tax Act of 2013, the Excise Duty Act (2015), the Tax Procedures Act (2015), Miscellaneous Levies and Fees Act (2016) and the Retirement Benefits Act(1997).
The amendments include the raise in the threshold for turnover tax to between one million and fifty million shillings so as to exclude small-scale traders from the presumptive tax. The new law further lowers turnover tax rate from 3 to 1 percent.
The amended law, which mainly targets low-income earners, includes a 100 percent Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax relief for employees earning less than Shs 28,000 per month. Those earning above the new threshold will benefit from a PAYE tax reduction of between 30 and 25 percent.
Similarly, the new Act has revised Corporation Tax to 25 percent while Non-Resident Tax on Dividends has been adjusted from 10 to 15 percent.
The amended law lowers the Value Added Tax rate from 16 to 14 percent, a move that is expected to lower the shelf prices of basic commodities.
The new Act, has amended Section 38 of the Retirement Benefits Act (1997) to allow access of retirement benefits for purposes of purchase of a residential house. This is aimed at increasing home ownership in the country as envisaged in the housing pillar under Big 4 Agenda.
The Bill, which was presented to the President for signature by National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi was passed by Parliament on Wednesday this week.
Present during the brief signing ceremony were National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani, Solicitor General Ken Ogeto, State House Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita, National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai and State House Deputy Chief of Staff Njee Muturi.

A magnificent performance by Mercy Moim led Kenya to a historic straight sets victory (25-23, 25-22, 25-21) over Kazakhstan in Pool D at the FIVB Women’s World Championship on Saturday night. This was Kenya’s first ever victory at the world stage.
The wing spiker posted a match-high 24 points in the win over Kenya’s higher ranked opponents.
Edith Mukuvilani added 10 points for Kenya in the impressive triumph.
Sana Anarkulova led Kazakhstan in the defeat with 11 points.
The Kenyans displayed greater energy and togetherness throughout the contest, while Kazakhstan was unable to sustain any rhythm. Kenya came up with key points when they needed to time after time during the match.
Kenya played a fine all-around game from start to finish to emerge with the victory.
Kazakhstan established a 12-6 lead in the first set behind a fierce attack. Kenya dug in and fought back to cut the deficit to 12-9 and Kazakhstan took a timeout. The tactic did not work, however, as Kenya ran off three more points to equalize at 12-12.
The Kazakhs struggled with blocking and made unforced errors that allowed Kenya to claw back. Christine Psiwa soared for a spike that gave Kenya set point at 24-23, and the Kenyans closed out the set 25-23.
Kenya’s inspired play was bolstered by a strong attack and timely defense. Moim had nine points in the opening set for Kenya.
Kenya picked up where they left off in the second set, moving out to a 5-0 lead before Kazakhstan got on the board. Kenya led 8-4 at the first team time out after a Kazak serve went into the net. Kazakhstan made a run in the set, coming within a point at 13-12, but after Moim soared for another spike, Kenya was in front 16-13 at the second Time Out.
The Kenyans continued to do a good job of finding holes in the Kazakh defense during the set. A crosscourt spike by Emmaculate Chemtai gave Kenya set point at 24-20 and they took the set 25-22 when she came up with a big block.
Kazakhstan began to put up resistance in the third set, taking an 8-5 lead at the first team time out behind some good blocking. But Kenya kept is close and equalized 10-10 on a block by Moim, before pulling ahead 13-12 on a block by Noel Murambi.
Kenya led 16-14 at the second Team Time Out and kept the momentum to finish it off 25-21.

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has released a list of 3,500 teachers and staff who failed to file their 2019 wealth declarations. Via a circular dated April 14, 2020, the Commission boss says the said teachers and staff have been expunged from the TSC payroll until they meet certain set conditions. All TSC employees, just like other workers in the formal sector, were required to declare their 2017/2019 Income, Assets, and Liabilities by 31 December, 2019 through the TSC Wealth Declaration online portal.
“Over 3,500 employees (secretariat staff and teachers) did not declare their Wealth within the stipulated deadline. Consequently, the Commission has stopped the employees’ salaries for Non-Compliance from March and April 2020 payrolls,” says the TSC Boss.
The Kenyan law requires all public officers to declare their wealth; periodically. This declaration is made online and there are hefty penalties for officers who fail to declare their income, assets and liabilities within the stipulated time. According to the Public Ethics Act of 2003, It is mandatory for all public officers to declare their income, assets and liabilities once in every two years.
All teachers in employment of TSC are required to declare their Income, Assets and Liabilities. These include teachers on: Any kind of leave, Interdiction, Suspension or Sick leave.

About 40,000 teachers had not submitted their returns, online, by December 30, 2019. This prompted the Commission to extend the deadline by one more week. Those affected were given the grace period to file their databetween 8th – 14th January, 2020.
For the teachers and staff to be reinstated into the TSC payroll they will be required to write an letter through their immediate Supervisor/Head teacher/Principal to explain why they did not adhere to the instructions to declare their wealth as stipulated in law.
“To fast track reinstatement, the letters be scanned and emailed to TSC headquarters with a covering letter listing the forwarded cases, by the TSC County Director,” says the Commission.
School heads must also give evidence that the teacher is indeed in active service.
“The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing that the employee has been in active service and /or has been teaching all along. The letter should be validated and forwarded to TSC Headquarters by the TSC County Director/TSC Sub-County,” adds the Commission.
Those affected will be hoping that the Commission will not take further action. This is because any teacher in the TSC employment who fails to submit a declaration or gives false or misleading information is liable to a fine of Kshs 1,000,000 or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year or both upon conviction.
