Teachers who feel that MCAs are paid better, can quit teaching and run for those MCA jobs. After all they qualify. Leave the arm chair experts to talk.

The domino effect from paying teachers will be the other civil servants in their class will demand for a pay hike too....And from your math.... does giving 17 only to get 4 make any economic sense?

Hii ndio mwisho wa migomo. A hard stance needs to be taken.

A document from the National Treasury briefing President Uhuru Kenyatta on teachers’ pay and why the 50-60 per cent awarded by the Industrial Relations Court is unsustainable shows that teachers are relatively better paid. It is believed this particular advisory informed the President’s “Can’t pay, won’t pay” remarks when he first talked of the industrial unrest that has led to the closure of schools.

The document further shows that teachers’ wage bill has remained higher than that of other public sector workers since 2009/10 and obeying the court order would only hurt the economy by increasing recurrent expenditure.

According to the brief, “Teachers with a P1 certificate enter the teaching service at Job Group ‘G’ with a maximum gross pay of Sh28,304.” This is far much better than P1 teachers in private schools who earn an average gross salary of approximately Sh20,000.

A Chief Principal in job group R currently takes home a maximum gross monthly pay of Sh144,926, which the Treasury says is only comparable to what a senior lecturer in public universities who earns, Sh150,926.

It warns that implementing the 50-60 per cent award will see the Chief Principal earn a maximum pay of Sh302,000 higher than a full professor at Sh296,632, thus distorting the already harmonised salary of public workers. The document continues: “It is therefore evident, Your Excellency, that teachers’ salaries are now comparable to other public servants and their peers, but with the award the harmonisation will be distorted.”

I thought the government was strong. But Its exposed its weakness by giving in to the teachers demand.So the private now joins public in demanding for a payhike till everyone comes back to their senses.
Impact is felt when you confront a threat not when you avoid it.

Sikuelewi madam,just do homework na yua shudren.

First I want my account back.

I had to leave wazua and my friends coz of personal issues.


But

I just have to say something.


I just saw Murchr and the other pseudo users here trying to protect the most stupid decision in the world.

So you are going to fire the teachers on monday and tell them to apply again....

Good idea. May actually work...


But surely is that the issue?

The issue is simple

The gov't of Uhuru Kenyatta has decided not to follow the law.

It's that simple.

Your gov't which you woke up for at 4am to go get of raira has said...


I will never follow the law...After all I'm the gov't. After all the people from Central and Rift will vote for me.

Heck I even have some bootlickers willing to say that Mugo wa Wairimu did not rape women coz the women were sleeping anyway and Citizen videos are fake.

Lipe deni bwana...No long stories about wage bill. And sijui loving the country.

If the President of the country decides that he won't follow the LAW. Hata mimi nita honga polisi.

I want my account back to deal with the 2pm gang. Wale wa raira are now quiet. So let me deal with mr. murchr na watu wake.
