The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has demanded the immediate release of dues owed to teachers who served as examiners for the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) last year.The union has warned that continued delays could disrupt the administration and marking of this year's exams.
KNUT National Vice Chairperson Aggrey Namisi criticised the government for failing to release funds to compensate hundreds of teachers who participated in the setting, invigilation and marking of the national examinations.
Speaking in Bumula Constituency, Bungoma County, Namisi questioned why teachers who rendered a critical national service were yet to receive their dues despite several months having elapsed since the completion of the examination exercise.He expressed concern that the delays could discourage teachers from participating in future national examination processes, especially with this year's examination season drawing closer.
