Good News To Teachers As Knut Makes This Move On Retirement Dues
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is constitutionally obligated to register, employ, advance, and oversee disciplinary matters concerning educators in both primary and secondary schools across the nation.
While in their teaching careers, educators are expected to work until they reach the age of 60, at which point they retire.
Upon retirement, teachers are entitled to receive retirement benefits, which are typically determined based on their years of service and their job position at the time of retirement.
However, it is not uncommon for teachers to experience delays in receiving their retirement benefits. One of the reasons for these delays is the necessity for teachers to make multiple visits to the Teachers Service Commission offices in Nairobi and the Ministry of National Treasury.
Unfortunately, some unscrupulous individuals within these institutions take advantage of the situation to request bribes from the teachers.

Nevertheless, there is hope for change with the recent initiative by the Kenya National Union of Teachers. The union has called upon the National Assembly to reconsider the law regarding teachers’ pensions, advocating for the direct payment of pensions by TSC.
According to James Muuo Ndiku, the National Treasurer of KNUT, teachers should receive their pensions directly from their employer, rather than through other entities.
If the National Assembly heeds the teachers’ request, it could put an end to teachers’ suffering by expediting the payment of their pensions and gratuities.
