The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has affirmed that they would give directions on the teachers' demands on the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) deal in the next two weeks. SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich also confirmed that the commission was looking into the submissions made by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) regarding the teachers' proposals on their salaries. Teachers unions comprising of Kenya Union of Post Primary Teachers (KUPPET), Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and Kenya National Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) have been decrying the delay of the negotiation process of the CBA deal. We have gathered that TSC was advised by the SRC, but TSC has not shared the advisory with us," Misori stated. TSC has been at loggerheads with KNUT and KUPPET over several key issues regarding the welfares of the teachers.
