Teachers are threatening that they will not invigilate the 2023 national examinations for primary and secondary schools due to salary delays.
According to the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Collins Oyuu, remunerations for teachers who invigilated the 2022 KCPE, KCSE, and KPSEA, exams took a whole year before being paid.
Speaking on Saturday in Eldama Ravine on Saturday, the Secretary-General said the payments were delayed said despite their several letters to KNEC.
Further, he said that unless they get clear directions on payments for invigilators, teachers won't invigilate the national examinations that are months away.
In addition, he has blamed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for its failure to allow delocalised teachers from returning back to their home stations.

He claimed that despite the Ministry of Education's order to return transfer the instructors and for disintegrated families to rejoin, TSC has yet to put the measures into effect.
Musa Sirma, a member of parliament from Eldama Ravine, voiced his opposition to the region's teachers being denied hardship payments.
He said that TSC discriminates against teachers in Koibatek Sub-County and encouraged KNUT to take action.
