TSC CEO Nancy Macharia reveals plans to review salaries and benefits of teachers.
If a request by the Teachers Service Commission is approved, primary and secondary school teachers will soon have their salaries raised and their perks evaluated.
TSC CEO Nancy Macharia stated that the economy had improved and called for increased salaries.
“The commission would wish to review the 2021-2025 CBA more specifically the salary component to motivate teachers,” Macharia said.
The CEO spoke when TSC appeared before the National Assembly Education Committee on Tuesday.
Macharia requested the Education Committee to support TSC in the review process.
“It was agreed that the CBA would be reviewed midterm pursuant to the improved economic status of the country,” she said.
Due to the consequences of Covid-19 on the nation’s economy, the unions in the public sector decided to sign a cashless CBA in July 2021 against the SRC’s recommendation for non-monetary CBAs.
Knut claims that the most recent pay raise for teachers was distributed in two stages, from 2016–2017 to 2017–2018.
The benefits of increased maternity and paternity leave days were included in the 2021–2025 CBA.

Previously, Knut secretary general Collins Oyuu said there was an agreement to revise the CBA signed after one year.
“We demand a sixty percent increment because as it stands the recovery from Covid 19 has already been achieved,” he said.
With the 60 percent salary increase demand, a grade D5 teacher currently earning Sh157, 656 will get Sh252, 249 after a 60 percent salary increase.
The grade D4 teacher who earns Sh121, 890 will take home Sh195, 024 while those in grade D3 and grade D2 who earn Sh104,644 and Sh91,0401 will be earning Sh167, 430 and Sh145, 665 respectively.
The grade D1 and C5 teachers who earn Sh85,269 and Sh64, 631 will get Sh136, 430 and Sh103, 409 respectively. Grade C4 earning Sh52,308 will get Sh83 692 while grade C3 who earns Sh53, 943 will get Sh86, 308.
The teachers in grades C2 and C1 earning Sh43, 694 and Sh33, 694 are anticipated to get Sh69, 910 and Sh53, 910 respectively while B5 earning Sh27, 195 will get Sh43, 512.
