In 2019 the teachers’ employer, Teachers Service Commission, TSC got summoned by a group of lawyers seeking answers on how the Commission arrived at the meagre salaries for TSC interns and unfavourable contract terms.
The lawyers from Mugeria, Lempaa and Kariuki Advocates demanded to have the Commission give an elaborate explanation on how it settled for Kshs 15, 000 and Kshs 10, 000 salary payment for Secondary and Primary School teacher interns.
Here is the letter from MLK Law Firm to the Teachers Service Commission.
This among other concerted efforts from members of Parliament culminated in better salaries for both primary and secondary school intern teachers after the Commission decided to add an extra Kshs 5,000 per month to their salaries.
A primary school TSC teacher intern now earns Kshs 15,000 whereas a secondary school TSC teacher intern earns Kshs 20,000 per month.
