Life is becoming gradually unbearable for most Kenyans in the middle and low class earners. The cost of living is on the rise as days pass by. Prices of commodities have skyrocketed in a span of few years. The future isn’t promising either. It is a tale-tale life for most Kenyans and teachers aren’t spared either. The future is bleak; increased cost of living with meager pay, most Kenyans are doomed!
A raft of measures, put up by the Jubilee government to fund its budget, have had a major negative impact on the quality of living for most locals. Among other decisions that have made life unbearable for most Citizens, we sample the most stinging ones::
1. Increase of M-Pesa mobile cash tax to 20 percent.
The cost of sending money through mobile services such as Safaricom’s M-Pesa will increase further after President Uhuru Kenyatta proposed to raise tax on the services from 12 per cent to 20 per cent.
ATM, Banking charges to go up as levies are doubled: President Uhuru, yesterday, doubled the tax on bank charges income from 10 percent to 20 percent. This means that you will pay more for banking services like: ATM withdrawals and deposits, over the counter transactions among other services.
New Housing Scheme: Workers will be deducted 1.5 per cent from their pay, monthly, to create a fund to finance a new low cost housing fund after Uhuru reinstated the levy.
Massive budget cuts: This year’s budget has been re-adjusted downwards from the initial 3.02 trillion to 2.9 trillion. The cuts will affect utility services and projects like: The Constituency Development Fund (CDF), National Affirmative Action Development Fund (NADF) and the allocation of funds to roads construction.
The 8 percent VAT on fuel will mean that the price of Petroleum products (and infarct all house hold commodities) will trade at higher prices; as manufactures pass the production and transport costs to consumers. The reduction of Petroleum products VAT from 16 percent to 8 percent takes effect this month.
15 percent excise cost on internet usage: This tax will mean that consumers will dig deeper into their pockets to purchase the now expensive data bundles. The increase in tax from 10 to 15 percent will affect both data and voice services.
Betting Winning amounts to be taxed at 20%.
Adulteration tax on Kerosene goes up to a rate of Kshs. 18 per litre.
A contributory statutory pension scheme is also on the way for all workers. This new scheme will see government employees forfeit 7 percent of their basic pay to fund the scheme.
The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has sent a message of appreciation to all teachers for their selfless services, rendered this year, ahead of the National examinations period. Through a presser by TSC Chief Executive Officer/ Secretary, Dr. Nancy Njeri Macharia, the TSC says “a big thank you to all the 312,000 teachers in primary and Secondary schools for their commitment and hard work throughout the year preparing the 1,725,345 KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) and KCSE (Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education) examination candidates.”
This appreciation note comes after most schools having closed for the long December holidays, for form ones, twos and threes.
Dr. Macharia, also, has kind words for the Principals and head teachers who shall be centre managers during the KCPE and KCSE examinations. The commission thanks ‘the 30,184 principals and head teachers who will be centre managers to ensure smooth administration of KCPE and KCSE (Examinations).’ The TSC Secretary has in the same breadth thanked the 35,114 supervisors and 91,405 invigilators who will oversee administration and monitoring of the National examinations. This happens even as the TSC and KNUT lock horns over unresolved industrial matters affecting teachers like: stoppage to the Performance Appraisals, Suspending delocalization of teachers and promoting teachers on attainment of higher qualifications by the Commission. read more details here: TSC Cancels the much anticipated meeting with KNUT
“Finally, the commission wishes all the 1,725,345 candidates the best in the examinations and in their future endeavours,” Dr. Macharia concludes. As the December holiday beckons, most teachers will still be engaged in the administration and marking of the National examinations, whose results are expected before the end of the year, 2018.

Saving is a venture that most people do not under take. But, saving is very important as it gives one financial security; more so during emergencies. Most people do not know where and how to save their earnings, here are a few suggestions:
Search for good saving places like fixed deposits accounts in banks, SACCOS and insurance firms.
Be financially disciplined.
Get enough knowledge on how to and where to save. Do thorough research before investigations before saving your money in any area to avoid con men
Do proper budgeting for your income. Include your savings amounts in the budgeting.
The Teachers Service Commission has urged universities to encourage students to take up courses in under staffed subjects. Through a memo sent to all university deans in the School of Education, TSC says that the subjects lacking enough personnel include: Drawing & Design, Home Science, Art & Design, Agriculture, Physical Education, Music and Computer Studies. “These subjects are lacking the required number of teachers who will be able to adequately provide the correct curriculum based establishment in Secondary Schools,” says the memo dated 19th October 2018 and written by TSC’s Dr. Nthamburi Mugwuku for the Chief Executive Officer.
The said subjects attract the least numbers of candidates in KCSE and are ofTEN referred to as ‘the small subjects’ by the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC. Some graduates from Universities offering Education degrees with Information Technology, IT, like (Maseno University) have been rejected by the TSC for not taking Micro teaching and Teaching practice units in Computer studies.
The Commission now asks universities to come up with ways of churning out more teachers in the mention subjects. “The purpose of this letter is to kindly request your universities to put measures to train who can be able teach these subjects in order to address the gaps”, adds Dr. Nthamburi.

BACKGROUND
Introduction
Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers signed a Collective Bargaining Agreement on 26th October 2016 which was later registered in the Employment and Labour Relations Court on 30th November 2016. The CBA was an agreement to regularize the industrial relations between the employer and KUPPET as well as for the interest of mutual understanding and co-operation. The CBA reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining a collaborative relationship aimed at realizing quality teaching service.
Analysis of the Cost of Living in Kenya
According to surveys released by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Consumer Price Indices (CPI) has continued to increase over the last 2 years. Consumer Price Index is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services such as transportation, food and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes of each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them. It reports inflation and deflation tendencies in the economy.
In July 2016, the CPI was 170.84 and inflation rate was 6.39. The CPI has increased to 191.59 and inflation rate is 4.35 in 2018. This is an economic indicator that prices of goods and services have increased over time affecting the remuneration and allowances for workers. The GDP has also increased on average 1.33 per cent since 2015 indicating an increase of 1.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2018.
For example, the average price of fuel in 2016 was sh98 per litre compared to the current sh112. This affects the commuter allowance as fares have risen from sh50 to sh 100 in most parts of the country.
The table below shows the average price changes for household consumption goods and services over the last 2 years.

The cost of living has increased rapidly over the last two years affecting the purchasing power of household goods and services. The transport cost has increased beyond the commuter allowance negotiated due to increase of fuel and general overall transport cost.
The Union demands that the following issues may be considered for negotiations to cushion teachers in their delivery of services.
PROPOSALS OF NEW ALLOWANCES
1.COMMUTER ALLOWANCE
The Union demands that commuter allowance be increased by 150% of the current rate. Commuter allowance shall be paid as per Appendix.
LEAVE ALLOWANCE
The Union demands that leave allowance be paid based on one’s basic pay i.e. an equivalent of one month’s basic pay for all cadres.
3.HOUSE ALLOWANCE
The Union demands that House allowance be harmonized across all regions.i.e Teachers in Grade C2 should enjoy the same house allowance whether in Nairobi or Marsabit and this should be in all grades.
TOWNSHIP HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE
While teachers enjoy equal house allowance across all regions, the Union proposes the introduction of township allowance. Teachers in urban areas experience challenges of high cost of living and expensive urban transport and this makes no difference with a teacher in a hardship area. We propose a town allowance of 30% of basic salary be paid to teachers in major cities or county headquarters.
HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE
Hardship allowance shall be payable to teachers assigned duties in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) areas. However, the areas declared as hardship needs to be reviewed because there are other emerging issues like terrorism, cattle rustling etc.
RISK ALLOWANCE
Risk allowance shall be payable to all Science teachers due to exposure to chemicals and other substances. The Union demands that Risk allowance be paid at a rate of 20% of the basic salary as per appendix.
ACCOMODATION ALLOWANCE
Teachers are assigned duties outside the work station. In the civil service, there are guidelines stipulating the allowance for every cadre. The Union has proposed development of clear guidelines on the payment of accommodation allowance (per diem) as well as the amount as shown in the appendix.
POST GRADUATE SCHEME OF SERVICE
The teaching service has no scheme of service for teachers who have attained a Masters and Doctorate degrees. Instead, the employer awards three increments to the holders of such qualifications. The proposed scheme seeks to allow TSC recruit teachers possessing post-graduate qualifications at entry level. The Union demands that Post graduate scheme of service be developed and be eligible to all teachers holding a Master’s and Doctorate degree. The said teachers shall be paid an allowance equivalent to 40% of the basic salary.
8.CAREER PROGRESSION
Parties agreed that career progression in the teaching service shall be as provided under Part VI of the Code of Regulations for Teachers. However, KUPPET demands that the Commission in performance of its obligation under this agreement ensures that every teacher under its employment is facilitated to undergo professional development.
9.OVERTIME ALLOWANCE
KUPPET demands that working hours for all teachers be 8 hours per day i.e. 8.00 am. to 5.00 p.m. with one hour lunch break for five days i.e. 40 hours per week – Monday to Friday. Further, the Union proposes that any extra hours worked be compensated as an overtime as teachers in boarding sections are overworked and no monetary compensation are done. The overtime allowance schedule is attached as per Appendix.
COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL COVER
We propose that medical allowance be increased by 100% to enable the employer improve health benefits with insurance underwriters.
TEACHERS’ SALARY INCREMENT
The 2016 basic salary increment be varied to align the increment with challenges of inflation.
OTHER ISSUES
The marking scheme for employment of Diploma teachers is discriminating and unfair to diploma teachers. We propose it be reviewed so that they are given same marks as graduates.
Special schools allowance terminated without consultation should be reinstated.
Annual increment for teachers seems not clear. Not all teachers have been given the same.
There should exist common cadre grades to show job group progression as before the CBA 26th October, 2016.
ACCOMODATION ALLOWANCE (PER DIEM)

History of the Kenya National Union of Teachers- KNUT
The teachers of this country were subjected to different terms and conditions of service by the many employers they belonged to. The employers who included missionaries and local councils never allowed them to meet and exchange views. This kept them totally ignorant as regards to their rights and therefore were seriously exploited by their masters. Despite the fact that they were kept in the dark, they slowly learned the need to form organizations still based on religious sect organized to the highest at provincial level.
However by 1934 Messrs. James Gichuru and Eluid Mathu formed a teacher’s organization known as Kenya African Teachers Union (KATU). This Union eventually fizzled away under the pressure of powers of the time. This was because it was very difficult to organize an effective national organization of workers at that time because of communication problems.
It was not until the early fifties, when Makerere and Kagumo Colleges produced a higher caliber of teachers, which teachers’ organizations began coming up because these teachers communicated after training and hence learnt of the diversity of their terms and conditions of service.
They began by forming sectional or regional Teachers Organizations based on denominations or Provinces. E.g.:
(i) Nyanza African Teachers Union (NATU);
(ii) Catholic African Teachers Association (CATA) both in Nyanza Province;
(iii) Rift Valley African Teachers Association (RATA);
(iv) Coast African Teachers Union (CATU);
(v) Central Province African Teachers Union called Kikuyu Teachers Union (KTU)
Still, there was no way teachers could correspond with their counterparts in other Provinces.
In 1955, one of the teacher’s leaders from Rift Valley Hon. Daniel T. Moi now the retired President of the Republic of Kenya was elected to the Legislative Council (Leg.co.) now called National Assembly. He later successfully moved a freelance motion in the house in 1957 that the Government should help the teachers of this country to form one national body. The Government accepted the motion.
This made the Minister for Education Mr. W.F. Coutts invite all leaders to a meeting in December 1957 at Pumwani D.E.B. School. At this meeting, one teacherâs organization called Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) was born. An Interim Central Executive Committee was set up with Mr. Ignatius Mkok as interim President and Mr. Stephen J. Kioni as interim Secretary General.
On 10th December 1958, the Central Executive Committee (C.E.C) convened the first Annual Conference at the Pumwani D.E.B. School. At this Conference, the KNUT Conference was ratified. The 1st National elections were held and Mr. Samwel Ayany was elected the 1st President and Mr. Stephen J. Kioni the 1st Secretary General.
On 14th May 1959 KNUT was officially registered as A Trade Union.
The Growth and Further Development of the KNUT:
Even after the registration of KNUT as a Trade Union, no serious work could be done because Mr. Stephen Kioni who had been elected as Secretary General was still a full-time teacher at Kilimambogo Teachers Training College.
It was not until 1960 when Joseph Kioni resigned from teaching to devote his energy full-time to KNUT.
He established the first KNUT Office in one of the garages in Ruiru Town without salary, since the Union had no funds to pay him. That same year 1960 Mr. Samwel Ayany attended a World Confederation of Organisations of the Teaching Profession (WCOTP) Assembly in ROME where he got KNUT affiliated to WCOTP although he had been invited to attend as a representative of the Nyanza African Teachers Union (NATU). He made an approach for assistance to KNUT from WCOTP. The WCOTP accepted and undertook to pay Mr. S.J. Kioni part of his salary. This was so until 1964 when the Union began realizing some money from members through a check-off system.
Policy Demands:
Soon after setting up offices, the Central Executive Committee, which later became the National Executive Council, met and issued the first policy demands, which included:-
(a) A single Employer for all teachers.
(b) Unified Terms and Conditions of Service.
(c) Free Pension for all teachers.
(d) Provision for negotiating machinery.
(e) Pay rise for all teachers in all grades.
(f) Responsibility allowance for all posts of responsibility.
(g) Abolition of the Colonial Code of Discipline.
The government responded by appointing the Lawrence Sagini Commission to look into the demands of KNUT.
After prolonged negotiations, KNUT rejected the recommendations of this Commission. The government then appointed another body called the Teachers Salaries Commission. Whose recommendations were not very different from the Lawrence Commission. Here, the KNUT resolved to stage token strikes.
In 1961, went for Labour studies in the USA and James K. Njoroge acted as Secretary General. The same Njoroge became Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education.
The Token Strikes:
These strikes were staged selectively in a number of branches to test the Unions capability in organizing a strike. There were two token strikes staged as follows:-
(a) 19th - 20th March 1962 covered the following branches - Nairobi, Nyeri, Mombasa, Kilifi, Baringo, South Nyanza and North Nyanza.
(b) 26th - 27th March 1962 – Machakos, Kiambu, Murang’a, Taita, Nakuru, kisii and Central Nyanza.
Both strikes were successful and encouraging, but the colonial government did not yield to the demands.
NATION WIDE STRIKES:
The Four Strikes between 1962 and 1969:
a) The first strike: 18th September - 11th October, 1962
This was a nationwide strike with the results that:
(i) The government appointed a joint consultative and negotiative committee under the chairmanship of Mr. W. Rogers of Nairobi University, and the Union effectively put the case to the satisfaction of Mr. Rogers who resigned as a result of the governmentâs refusal to implement the findings of this committee.
(ii) From 1st January, 1963 - the government accepted to introduce Check-Off-System for collection of union dues. It was effected in 1964.
(iii) 1965 - the establishment of a Teachers Service Commission under the chairmanship of Hon. Joseph Gatuguta and Mr. Solomon Adagala as Secretary. The commission was disbanded because of the pressure from KNUT - the KNUT did not accept the way it was constituted.
After the disbanding of the ill-constituted teachers commission the KNUT again threatened countrywide strike action and the Minister for Labour responded by appointing a Board of Inquiry. The Board was chaired by Mr. S.N. Waruhiu, a Nairobi advocate and Rev. Andrew Hake and a teacher Yusto Nyamolo Okal as its members.
The Board recommended a framework favorable to the teachers, but again the government refused to implement its findings. The KNUT was then ready for a second nationwide strike in 1965.
b) The next three strikes
i) The second national strike took place from 11th October, 1965. The strike was short-lived because it was promptly declared illegal by the government. As a result, union officials were arrested by the government. However, after the Minister for Labour referred the grievances to the industrial court, the government withdrew the cases against the KNUT officials. The key issue that remained unresolved was that of one employer for all teachers throughout. The KNUT had by now realized that by having one properly and legally constituted employer, all of her demands could be negotiated with the employer. As this issue remained unresolved, there arose a need for yet another national strike a year later.
ii) The third national strike took place from 1st to 3rd November, 1966. A brief but very historic act, that the government responded positively by accepting to establish the Teachers Service Commission. The TSC was established through a bill tabled in parliament by the then Minister for Education the Hon. Jeremiah Nyagah.
The TSC Act chapter 212 of the Laws of Kenya thus established the TSC as the sole employer for all teachers in public schools in Kenya. The bill having been passed in 1966 the TSC became operational from 1st July 1967.
Subsequent and very significant development included:
The establishment of Teachers Service Appeals Tribunal.
The signing of TSC/KNUT Recognition Agreement in May, 1968.
The appointment Act of 1968 that gave the government more direct control over education thereby loosening the missionary grip over schools.
Thus the KNUT had succeeded in establishing competent organs for negotiating all forms of demand for teachers.
Future differences were from then expected to be mainly on implementation and details and not very fundamental issues.
iii) The fourth strike was staged from 4th to 11th November, 1969. After the creation of the Teachers Service Remuneration Committee (TSRC) the KNUT and TSC used the Committee to negotiate several issues that teachers had been raising over the years. After protracted negotiations the TSRC presented its recommendations to the Minister as provided for under the TSC Act. However, the Minister was not willing to implement most of the recommendations made by the TSRC and that is what led to the 1969 national strike. As a result of the strike the Minister agreed to implement the recommendation of the TSRC.
These four major strikes established the KNUT as an effective voice of teachers and from then on the employer and government accepted the broad principle of negotiating at length all issues raised by teachers through the Union. An effective grievances procedure has since been well established, and several issues negotiated and settled without recourse to strike action. Through such negotiations the KNUT has recorded numerous achievements for teachers as will be apparent in subsequent sections.
In 1965 a BOARD OF INQUIRY was formed to look into Terms and Conditions of Service for Teachers.
The government refused to implement the recommendations of the Board of Inquiry. This led the KNUT to threaten a strike demanding for one employer in 1966. The then President of KNUT the late JOB ROB betrayed the Union. This caused him expulsion from the Union by the Advisory Council on 29th October 1966.
The Advisory Council recalled Mr. David Mulindi who was then 1st Vice President to return from DENMARK to take over KNUT as President.
The strike eventually took place on 1st November 1966. The following day, all Union officials were arrested.
Mr. Mulindi arrived on 13/11/1966 and went to CID Headquarters offering to be arrested alongside his colleagues.
The government later released the Union officials and withdrew all charges against them.
As a result, Mr. J. Nyagah the then Minister for Education rushed a bill in Parliament of Teachers Service Commission.
On 1st July 1967 the Teachers Service Commission and KNUT signed Recognition Agreement.
In the year 1969 Mr. Kioni was jailed and Mr. E.J. Nyoka acted as Secretary General.
In 1970 December, Mr. Ambrose Adeya Adongo was elected the second KNUT Secretary General defeating Mr. Nyoka.
In August 1973 KNUT hosted a WCOTP Assembly at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) at which All African Teachers Organisation - AATO was born. Mr. Ambrose A. Adongo was elected its first President, a post he held until his death.
In 1982 – 1983, KNUT started leadership training.
On 2nd March 2001 Mr. Ambrose Adongo died.
On 20th June 2001 Mr. F. M. Ng’ang’a was elected the third KNUT Secretary General.
MAJOR CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES IN KNUT:
In 1965 the KNUT Constitution was revised to allow KNUT to affiliate to COTU, to allow the KNUT to change the title of the President to National Chairman, and also to enable the Union to subject its Secretary General to election like it was in other Trade Unions.
In 1967 all Unions were prohibited from international affiliations but KNUT alone was allowed its affiliation with World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession (WCOTP) as a professional body by the government.
In 1982, there was a major amendment to include a women representative in the National Executive Council (NEC) and Branch Executive Committee (BEC).
In 1992 the post of School Representative was created.

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has promised to review all educational materials (mostly textbooks) in the country after a photo of a Grade two English book whose content was criticized as misleading caused uproar. Kenyans, online, criticized the new Competency Based Curriculum, CBC, textbook for providing misleading information to pupils and the public.
“We regret information that has been circulating in the social media regarding the content of some text books and other educational materials,” the KICD Director, Dr. Julius Jwan, said n a press statement on Saturday.
“We appreciate the feedback so far received from Kenyans and will intensify measures to guarantee quality.” Adds Jwan, who says that review of the CBC instructional materials has been ongoing for the last one week.
According to the statement, the KICD boss also urged booksellers and publishers to release only books that have received approvals from the KICD.
“School text books are approved after a careful evaluation and review by KICD officers, lecturers, quality assurance officers, teachers in primary and secondary schools, and tutors from teacher training colleges,” Jwan said in the statement.
The full implementation of the new CBC system is faced with hiccups few months ahead of the roll out date, January 2019. Grade four textbooks are yet to be published, among other challenges facing the implementation.

The Federation of International Football Association has released the current standings in the football ranking of countries. Last month, Belgium joined France in becoming the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking’s first-ever joint leaders. Now the Red Devils (Belgium) are in sole possession of top spot, albeit by the narrowest possible margin – 1733 Ranking points to Les Bleus’ (France) 1732.
The top two remain out in front after a month in which each of them enjoyed a win and a draw, with Belgium and France beating Switzerland (8th, unchanged) and Germany (14th, down two) respectively in the UEFA Nations League and emerging with honours even from matches against the Netherlands (15th, up 2) and Iceland (36th, unchanged).
The Dutch rose on the back of a fine 3-0 Nations League win over their struggling German rivals, and other sides also profited from their success in the same competition. England (5th, up 1), for example, swapped places with Uruguay (6th, down 1) after winning 3-2 away to Spain (9th, unchanged), while Norway (48th, up 4) moved into the top 50 after back-to-back victories and Russia (41st, up 5) maintained recent momentum by staying top of Group 2.
Gibraltar (190th, up 8), though, were undoubtedly October’s biggest Nations League success story, and their first-ever competitive wins against Armenia (101, down 1) and Lichtenstein (182, down 4) are reflected in a record Ranking position – and this month’s biggest rise.
The Gibraltarians are one of just six teams to have ascended more than five places, and the only team in Europe to have done so. The others all hail from Africa, where Egypt (58, up 6), Madagascar (100, up 6), Namibia (109, up 7), Zimbabwe (110, up 7) and Burundi (142, up 6) made significant gains on the back of strong results in CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 29 November 2018. (Courtesy of FIFA)
