KNUT SG asks TSC to confirm intern teachers by Jan 2025, or else ‘hell will break loose’

Oyuu says TSC must confirm the 46,000 interns on permanent and pensionable terms by January 2025.

Speaking in Likuyani on Saturday, Oyuu affirmed that grade nine is still domiciled in primary schools and therefore the system has not changed. 

“The labour issue was among those that we shared. The implementation of the second phase of the CBA, this had double benefits,” Oyuu stated.

The Secretary General further argued that the implementation of the 2021 CBA will open room for discussions on a new CBA. 

“We have presented a memorandum to TSC and we want to make sure that this time it will not be a ‘maternity’ CBA,” he stated.

Oyuu further told the government to disburse the remaining Ksh.1 billion meant for teacher salary increments to TSC.

“The 46,000 interns must be confirmed as permanent and pensionable by January next year. If not so, hell might break loose.”
