TSC Releases July Teachers Salaries With These Changes
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has begun the process of paying teachers and secretariat employees their salary for the month of July.
The TSC made the third party deductions public yesterday. These deductions include loans and insurance premiums.
The disclosure of the payroll for the month of July implies that instructors will get their compensation at the very latest by Saturday of this week.
The most recent payroll reveals that salaries have been distributed to the primary school teachers who were hired and assigned to schools in May of this year.
According to the information that has been uncovered, some of the teachers’ salary and allowances have been adjusted, while others have had their back pay paid out.
In addition, teachers are scheduled to get a wage increase equal to 7% of their base salaries in the pay that will be distributed in July.
TSC has already been given a total of sh. 9.1 billion by the National Treasury, which will be utilised to put the payrise plan for July into effect for more than 350,000 teachers and secretariat staff members who are paid by the pnp.
When President William Ruto made the announcement that teachers and federal officials will see a wage increase of between 7% and 10%, he explained that this was done to help cushion public servants from the difficult economic conditions.

This comes as a result of the fact that a lawyer named Shadrack Sharu has challenged the Appropriation Act of 2023 in a separate case.

Sharu casts doubt on Kenya’s debt by stating that the amount that is represented by the Kenya Kwanza cannot possibly be the true amount of money that is owed to creditors both within Kenya and outside the country.
He has filed a lawsuit against the Controller of the Budget, the National Treasury, the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury Cabinet, Njuguna Ndung’u, as well as the National Assembly.
He contends that the government of Kenya should have communicated to Kenyans how much financial responsibility is expected of them and then paid out that amount this year.
Sharu claims that the loans taken out by the government are not properly accounted for, and the money from those loans ends up in the pockets of government officials.
“The petitioners challenge the constitutionality of Appropriation Act 2023 to the extent that it does not clearly state the country’s debt balance and appropriate funds for its settlement within the financial year,” argues Sharu. “The petitioners challenge the constitutionality of Appropriation Act 2023 to the extent that it does not clearly state the country’s debt balance.”
In addition to that, he has mentioned the businessman Jimmy Wanjigi as a potential interested party. It is said that the amount of the debt is somewhere around 9.7 trillion shillings. According to him, this constitutes somewhere in the neighbourhood of 70 percent of Kenya’s gross domestic product (GDP).
