It will still be squandered regardless. Better many people eating it spread through out the country, than a few elite!

I like this ruling,

The govt leaders will need to look at themselves in the mirror to see the solution to the teachers pay crisis. How is it that Mpigs, CS's and high cadre govt positions earn on average 10 times what a teacher earns yet they expect the teachers to buy the same packet of milk, take their children through scholling etc.

There is also alot of wastage on per diems in endless conferences and trips to Mombasa and to foreign countries, let them cut down on this wastage.

As mentioned above, paying teachers will spread the wealth.

1.4b shared among 288000 people per month, si ni kidogo sana?

Yaani ni kama lunch moja serena per teacher. What is the hype about?


Anyway this is a kind of economic stimulus which goes to machinani. Teachers will have more purchasing power, wanunue safaricom airtime, phombe sigara na Kadhalika, more taxes for the government, more investment new employment opportunities etc

The problem is not teachers pay rise. It is the huge wage disparities where top civil servants earn about 80 times the wage of poorly paid civil servants.
The reason being we supposedly belief that our economy can support huge salaries for few top civil servants but always against salary increases for the many junior servants as supposedly the economy cannot support their salary increase.
I belief that where the Salaries and remuneration commission has failed us.

True. It's the only way! A "casual" in the tea indystry is earning 23,000/= per month and a teacher 17k. And yes, the problem is disparities in salaries. MCA earning like a member of parliament? How many MCAs in Kenya?
