Why is he targeting laptop cash? Does he mean the Government has no other sources of funding teachers' pay other than diverting project funds?

Ambia huyu baba yenu afungue macho!!!

The government should end this strike craze once and for all - either they pay the teachers whatever the gazette they always quote or they sack all the teachers and employ others under new terms.

the strikes have become too frequent

You forget how the previous strikes by the teachers happened and the group Sossion and co campaigned for is not a secret!!!!

If teachers can't respect the law,why should they be heard?.....It's annoying and more so considering the suffering i as a parent have to undergo......Now they have sent secondary school kids home indefinitely,yet i have paid their fees to year end.Is this fair?....Don't pupils/students have rights?.Don't parents have rights?Remember,the same happened less than a year ago.

My first salary as a graduate teacher was ksh 3270 plus a house allowance of ksh 1500. The house allowance was not automatic. A Primary school area inspector had to be send to your house to ascertain that you were actually living there and not in a 'cave'. It was only that your hse allowance could be processed. It was a very painful experience and humiliating to say the least. When an opportunity arose to jump ship, I did not even inform anybody...I DESERTED. By then it was the most frustrating career one could imagine...Those BAs from other universities who could not be absorbed in the ministries ( those days it was a must for the government to give graduates jobs!!!) were sent to teach...The long and short of it is that teachers should be respected and not be treated as second class citizens...At the same time the teachers should also be understanding and not ask for too much when they don't offer the same in return...
