TEACHER DIED

He claimed a teacher died on Tuesday after being delocalised from Marakwet to Baringo where he succumbed to malaria in the new environment.

The nominated MP reiterated that the TSC must pay for the training programmes, saying teachers will not pay.

“We are not going to spend any money on any module to pay for programmes organised by TSC. Employment law is very clear and that is the work of TSC,” he said.

He criticised the TSC for coming up with a new policy that requires teachers to undertake the training after every five years or face the sack and insisted that the teachers would only go for the sessions if the government pays for it

But Ms Mohamed asked the unionist to sit down with TSC and iron out the differences.

Speaking during the ongoing Kenya Primary School Head teachers association conference in Mombasa, the CS assured the heads that her ministry will relook into the ‘harsh’ policies under her ministry.

ADDRESS CHALLENGES

“I will not promise that the policies will disappear at once, they were intended for a purpose and when the purpose is achieved, we will sit down and discuss. But I promise we will discuss some issues,” the CS said.

She noted that the ministry will address the challenges, but added teaching is a calling.

Meanwhile, Mr Sossion accused the government of implementing “a divide and rule” strategy to have its new policies work.

He claimed that the government has tried to divide teachers by infiltrating the secondary and primary heads associations.

A section of primary school heads had opposed the planned strike with some endorsing the new policies introduced by the government.
