Teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission have raised concern over the delayed November salaries. In various teachers’ groups, most teachers have lamented that they are unable to travel back to their working stations due to lack of fares.
They complain that because of delocalization, their working stations are far away from their homes. This makes them to spend a lot of fare on the way and because November salary has delayed, they can’t travel back.

TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia recently affirmed that November salaries for teachers will delay because they are factoring in the issue of CBA. She says that CBA for 2021-2025 was supposed to be implemented in July this year but delayed. She has urged teachers to be patient as they sort out the issue.
