BREAKING NEWS FROM TSC HEADQUATERS ON CLASSROOM TEACHERS DELOCALISATION!

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is priming itself for a major delocalization for classroom teachers in the coming new year. 2020 will mark the commencement of the first group of classroom teachers to be transferred to other counties away from their current working counties.

This is to affect specifically the teachers who have served for at least 5 years in their current working stations. Via a memo dated 27th December 2019 the TSC Deputy Director in charge of staffing Dr. Dorothy Owuor instructs the County Directors to collate data for classroom teachers within their areas of jurisdiction.

This procedure is said to not affect the senior teachers and deputy principals whose delocalisation will effect at the end of 2021. According to the TSC boss, Dr Nancy Macharia, teachers with serious medical conditions will be spared from the planned delocalization exercise. Also to be spared are those aged above 56 years.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, is opposed to the massive delocalization exercise and says it should be executed with a human face. Nancy Macharia on her part says it is intended that the transfer will provide the classroom teachers with a new working environment and also tap into their vast experience. She also added that this will help minimize ethnicity which is a "cancer" in the nation since it is the teachers who shape the future of the country.

UNION MATTERS CAN'T BE POLITICISED, ESPECIALLY WHERE AN INDEPENDENT CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION IS INVOLVED: KNUT MAKING FURTHER MISTAKES

The recent activities of the former ELRC Sg of Knut to hang around politicians during the cultural festival hosted by Mudavadi and COTU boss Atwoli in Vihiga on the 26th December, the hope being offered by politicians to Knut top leadership is laughable. What Mudavadi isn't aware of is that TSC hasn't killed Knut . But it's the strategy of poor leadership of the Sg and National Steering dating back six years ago came to haunt Knut. This continuos song of Knut created TSC is also a fallacy because it was a creation of 2010 Kenyan Constitution which the " *WE* "people of Kenya passed.

The now left alone National leadership and some branch secretaries should know that teachers issues are professional ,not political. There is clear demarcation of professional and labour issues and political posturing. Knut can only get mileage in boardroom engagements and not political rallies. What Mudavadi is offering to do is a move in futility that won't see the light of the day, if his ANC party alone can not command even the politics of his home County.

The narrative that TSC has removed every teacher from Knut is also another cheap propaganda by Peter Kodhek Amunga to seek public sympathy which can't be consumed by any sane thinking Kenyan . Facts are hard to face that teachers took the advantage of the T-Pay System and opted out of Knut, in order to get an increament on their net pay from the what they used to pay as union dues which was being looted to fuel big cars and even wrote letters to their employer TSC informing them of their actions which is well documents in every employees file. The issue of Revocation of Recognition Agreement between TSC and Knut is a legal matter and in the event that one party which is the union falls short of the bare minimum then TSC has all the Constitutional rights to Revoke it. Court Sg Sossion is on record disobeying court orders from various ELRC over litigations case against him by fellow union officials,and they shouldn't castigate TSC for not obeying and while the employer is on record implementing all the court orders which some it's Knut which took them to court over and the impacts now coming to haunt them.

Finally, all union officials are first employees of TSC and not Knut and when then employer feels it's fit to take back his employees no one can dictate to them what to do, and in the event that they have no members to serve thus they must all be recalled and redeployed back to class and this is an issue which mustn't be politicised.

RESOLUTION
Knut turned into an opposition party and militia group group while TSC is and independent Constitutional commission handling it's matters with the laid down CORT and the Constitution of Kenya,2010. What teachers have been doing on social media is to inform fellow comrades of the truth and to dispel propaganda from pro Knut bloggers.

No political solution will help resurrect Knut from the purgatory

THESE FEUDS BETWEEN M.O.E AND TSC SHOULD BE AVOIDED FOR THE SAKE OF LEARNERS

TSC regional and county directors have refused to allow teachers to attend drama trainings that were organised by the ministry and sanctioned by PS Belio Kipsang. Tsc staff are citing orders from above.

We can authoritatively state that there are growing concerns that Top ministry of Education officals at Jogoo house and counties are not seeing eye to eye with TSC top staff at the hqs and counties. This adamancy by TSC not to release teachers is a revange tactic.

The feuds have been simmering for a while now on issues, staffing, duty allocations and finances. The latest feud on drama festivals has angered ministry officals who had written invitation letters to school heads asking that drama teachers be allowed to attend workshops at regional levels starting this Thursday 16th January. MOE had already secured and paid for venues, training manuals, and invited the facilitators.

But in a surprise twist of events, TSC directors have send warnings to school heads not to release any teacher unless over the weekend. Ministry of Education is clear that weekends are rest and worship days. Trainings should be on work days.

CONCLUSION

It is prudent that TSC staff respect and obey directives from the parent ministry. Drama is a core co curricular activity and was programmed well before the school calender this year. TSC should NOT cause confusion over such a sensitive activity as it can lead to strikes in schools. Let CS MAGOHA CALLS TSC CEO and gives firm instructions that insubordination from TSC county directors will be met with heavy disciplinary measures. Let teachers attend the trainings as per schedule.

I am thinking about generally our shallowness as Kenyans. A teacher is killed along the road taking her children to school. The previous day parents had complained about the school, where she teaches, performance and school closed.

This was neither a deputy nor head teacher. She only taught Maths in class eight last year. So, obviously there wasn't such a strong ground to attribute the poor performance to her to an extent of plucking her from a bodaboda, killing her and setting her body ablaze. Anybody with modicum of intelligence would clearly note it was something else not KCPE results. But we didn't care, we accessed our keyboards and lamented how mere exam results had brought the killing. TSC was first to withdraw teachers from the school citing their security. Shouldn't that even wait for reports from the officers on the ground? In all that only KNUT spoke from the ground. Local education officials, Chief and sub chief, OCS, etc had not spoken. Neither had the fellow teachers nor family members spoken. Remember it is that TSC which keeps mum when teachers are slaughtered in North Eastern to an extent they struggle to get transfers.

So, Kenyans were quick to condemn and lament. Ironically it is that crop of Kenyans that accuse 'ignorant' voters for not making informed decisions during voting thus being swayed by propaganda. Most importantly, it is the same crop that pretend to read a lot and even watch movies which have complicated plots that scoffs at drawing conclusions from the surface or appearances. As it emerged later, the killing had totally different motives and reasons far away from KCPE results.

Pertinent question that emerge now is police saying she was under investigations for long following complaints linking her to serious crime including dealing with guns, kidnapping, torture and extortion. Is that the person they left to be dealing with our little children? That tells you why those, including TSC, with responsibility to keep our children safe had to find fault with parents to save face. We couldn't see through that lie but we think we are complicated to understand the shenanigans of politicians.
