Industrial Court awards teachers 50 to 60 per cent salary increase

NAIROBI, KENYA: Court on Tuesday awarded teachers pay rise of between 50 to 60 per cent with immediate effect

The increase will be backdated from July 2013 and goes to July 2017. Court ruled that Collective Bargaining Agreement should be registered between Teachers Service Commission and Teachers Union within 30 days.

The bitterly contested pay increase for teachers goes back to 1994, when the late Ambrose Adongo was Secretary General of The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT).
