STRICT OBSERVANCE OF CONVID 19 MOH GUIDELINES IS COMPULSORY
DR REUBEN NTHAMBURI
FOR SECRETARY
TEACHERS SERVICE COMMISSION
Thanks for the valuable information.
Its good to train teacher’s but why is it that we are been trained on Sabbath and Sunday? TSC should allow its employees to worship God.
Grateful for the updates. Last time, Saturday/Sunday weren’t attended well due to worship days. For some are pastors. God bless.
Kenya is a God fearing country. The constitution caters very well for freedom of worship. It is therefore very wrong for the employer to force teachers to work on their days of worship.
Kindly give reasonable allowance for CBC teachers. Meaning cater for their meals and transport because some travel from other sub counties and others faraway to attend the same.
Hope our teachers request will be adhered to. Thank you.
