Kuppet Secretary General Akello Misori says delayed payment of allowances has left teachers frustrated. [File, Standard]
Teachers unions have threatened to boycott administering this year's national examinations unless invigilators, supervisors and center managers are paid their outstanding allowances by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut} and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) have directed their members not to administer this year's national examination until they are paid outstanding dues.
This came despite the government releasing Sh1.5 billion through the National Treasury to KNEC to pay teachers who supervised and managed last year's national examinations. However, the unions say that thousands of the teachers are yet to receive their payments months after the government announced the release of funds.
