Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said that the government will promote 50,000 after allocating funds for the exercise in the 2026/27 budget allocation.

The DP reiterated that President William Ruto’s administration was keen to improve teachers welfare.

“In the coming budget, we have factored in the money for teachers’ promotions. The target was initially 25,000 teachers, but after further consultations with the unions, the government will now be promoting 50,000 teachers,” said Kindiki during the thanksgiving ceremony for newly elected Kuppet Meru branch Executive Secretary Muthomi Njira.
