Teachers have continued to pile pressure, through their unions, to demand new allowances and review of their remuneration terms from their employer.
Separate meetings for teachers in Kericho and Nakuru counties saw them agitate for new allowances, which they say are to cushion them from working under risky conditions.
In Kericho County, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) demanded that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) pay them risk allowances for handling dangerous laboratory chemicals and “rowdy” students. We want a risk allowance so that in case a teacher is affected in any way, their dependents will not suffer, said the newly-elected branch chairman Jonah Korir.
