October 10 expected to be declared a public holiday after FKE obtained orders

The Federation of Kenya Employers, FKE, has obtained court orders to force the interior Ministry to declare October 10 a public holiday. The FKE had gone to court to protest the decision by the Internal Security Ministry not to gazette October 10 as a public holiday.

October 10 has in the past been celebrated as Moi day before the Constitutional review. The orders, granted, now mean that the holiday shall be celebrated yearly; on 10th October.

Download the memo from the FKE here…Federation of Kenya Employers Notice on 10th as Holiday

The Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) is the national umbrella body and the voice of employers in Kenya.

TSC to collect data of teachers not performing teaching duties due to drug abuse, medical reasons

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is in the process of profiling teachers whose medical conditions are prohibiting them from performing teaching duties, optimally. Through a circular written by Mrs. J.M Maundu, on behalf of the TSC Secretary, and dated 23 October, 2018, the TSC directs all County directors to provide data of this group of teachers. “The commission requires data on teachers who are unable to perform teaching duties due to medical reasons,” Writes Maundu.

The Commission now asks the TSC County Directors to ‘liaise with all heads of institutions to provide data on:’

  • Teachers who have been out of station (their working stations) on account of ill health for over six months.
  • Teachers unable to perform their teaching duties due to substance abuse (Drug and Alcohol abuse)
  • Teachers who have mental challenges and cannot teach.
  • Any other pending cases in the counties where the teacher has not been in station for over 3 months and is not officially on approved leave of absence or study leave.

The TSC collects this information via its, Teachers Management Information System, TMIS, found on its online portal.

Details to be submitted to the head office are: Name of the teacher, TSC Number, Current station and reason (s) for non performance of duty. The information is to be submitted by 15th November, 2018. TSC is doing this is in a bid to address staffing gaps in public schools in Kenya.

 

National Assembly Speaker rejects request by 10 MPs to fly to Tokyo to watch World Volleyball Championship- 2018

Kenya’s National assembly Speaker, Justin Muturi, has turned down a request by 10 MPs to fly out to Tokyo, Japan, for the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship. The Legislators were hoping to fly out of the country to witness the FIVB Women’s World championship in Japan. This decision may be informed by the economic crunch facing the Kenyan government that is struggling to meet its ballooning wage bill and loans.

This latest development comes after members of the public roasted the over 20 Senators and Members of Parliament who flew out of the country to enjoy the just concluded World cup in Russia, 2018. The law makers who included 6 Senators and 14 MPs spent millions of taxpayers’ money just to have good time at the world cup, a move that angered most Kenyans. The same Law makers were recently conspicuously absent at Kasarani when the National Men’s soccer team, the Harambee Stars beat Ghana’s Black Stars, 1-0, in an AFCON qualifier match.

The FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship commences on Saturday, 29 September 2018, in Japan. Kenya’s Malkia strikers are pooled in group D and shall play their first match on 29th September against Kazakhstan at 13.20 pm, local time.

Hon. Muturi did not give the names of the 10 Legislators in the list.
