Judge Nderi Gaves Teachers a green light

The evidence before court shows TSC
made a proposal to unions of 50-60% increase

TSC complied with these guidelines and
recommended a 50-60% increase of salary on every. SRC guided TSC, unions in job reviews. It recommended a review period of 4 years starting 1st July, 2013

The industrial court is mandated to
ensure labour laws are respected

This court observes that the last review
was in 2009, and that teachers salaries are not at par with those of other civil servantservants.

This court reiterates that TSC must
consult with the unions on matters to do with unionisable teachers. This court reiterates that SRC only plays an advisory role to TSC.

However, TSC must consult with them. This court reiterates that TSC is the employer and is mandated to review salaries and job evaluation.

This court notes that of utmost importance is the children of Kenya and the teachers who teach them.

The court also notes that funding for TSC
Secretariat increased from 1.7 B to 3.3 B from 2007 to 2013.

The court finds that there is need to harmonise salaries of teachers within different cadres.

The report also indicates the increment
on salary of teachers of lower cadres was below average.

This court finds that 2009, the last time there was an increase on teachers salary, is the correct year for any CPI index.

Teachers have been victimised by their employer, who says increasing salaries on their big number will affect the economy.

The current basic salary reflects that
salary increments have been way below the CPI index.

This court holds that allowances will first be harmonized to match other public servants.

The unions came to negotiations with a
counter- proposal of 150% increase on the salary

Is GIDEON MOI set for presidency. Here is why

Nicknamed Gidi, the flamboyant, charismatic and soft-spoken senator who is the son of Daniel Arap Moi, is a president to be, or so it seems. He is standing on a red carpet, awaiting the grand inauguration. However, it’s going to be a wait until the year 2022, when the son of Jomo is finished with business at the house on the hill. Uhuru kenyatta’s assertions that Jubilee will rule for 20years, is a prophesy loaded with lots of meaning. 10 out of this 20 years are earmarked for his former St. Mary’s schoolmate, and brother in royalty, Gideon Moi. So it seems.

Senator Gideon Moi's predecessors as KANU chairmen have all been PRESIDENT.

Former KANU chairmen Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Arap Moi and now Uhuru Kenyatta have all inscribed their finger prints on the coveted political price; the Presidency. The younger Moi at the helm of KANU chairmanship is surely walking on a tunnel to statehouse. Further more, KANU is an affiliate of Jubilee, a strategic affiliation that has confronted the butterflies down the stomach of URP stalwarts.

Gideon has less political enemies.

The husband to Zahra, and the youngest son of Lena Moi, has not stepped on so many toes, politically speaking that is. This could be told about Kenyatta snr, Moi snr, Mwai Kibaki and Kenyatta jnr, prior to their becoming PRESIDENT.

Senator Gideon Moi, has played the soft-spoken hunter, but of course with his eyes well set on the prey; the Presidency. Kenyans have habitual instinct of voting against someone, a philosophy that favors Gideon’s brand of politics. Most evidently, he was the only senator who didn’t Biblically throw a stone at governor Wambora, when the troubled Embu county chief was under siege from the senate.

KANU will rule for 100 years.

Planting trees in schools to increase forest cover to begin soon, says P.S. Lesiyampe

The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has rolled out a programme aimed at encouraging pupils and students to develop a culture of planting trees.

The ministry’s Principal Secretary Richard Lesiyampe said the programme, dubbed Greening School, aims at increasing the country’s forest cover from the current 7 per cent to 10 per cent.

Speaking during the National World Environmental Day Celebrations at Maasai Girls in Narok County last week, Mr Lesiyampe said the programme targets inculcating tree planting culture in Kenyans at an early age.

“We are optimistic that if we teach young Kenyans the need to conserve the environment early, then destruction of nature witnessed currently will be addressed,” said Lesiyampe.

The PS warned that wetlands continue to be drained at an alarming rate to provide space for agriculture, human settlement and urban development.

“There is an urgent need to strike a balance between the environmental functioning and wetland use for livelihood support,” he said.

Lesiyampe said the ministry is currently implementing various projects in collaboration with international partners and relevant institutions through the national education awareness initiative.
