TSC Negotiations: Teachers in Kenya could miss out on salary increments for the next five years. This follows the tabling of a proposal by the Teachers Service Commission during pay negotiations on the 2021-2026 Collective Bargaining Agreement that were held at the Safari Park Hotel Nairobi.
The negotiations brought together KNUT, KUPPET and Kusnet officials. During the negotiations, TSC chief executive officer Dr. Nancy Macharia said that the government had frozen any pay increases.
“The Salaries and Remuneration Commission gave an advisory that there would be in the no review of the basic salary structures, allowances and benefits paid public sector in the financial year 2021 /2022 — 2022/2023,” Dr Macharia said during the TSC negotiations meeting.
The TSC then sought to negotiate on other work components while maintaining the current salaries. This was however rejected by the Kenya National Union of Teachers and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers who said that the TSC proposal did not contain any monetary gains.
