With the Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education (KCSE) examinations having commenced, teachers have threatened to sue the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) for contempt of court.
This is after TSC failed to pay them their September salaries.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) was to hold a consultative meeting on Monday with its lawyers to find the way forward. The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) said it planned to take to court the commission if the salaries were not paid by the end of the day Monday.
During the strike, TSC had warned that those who would not report to work by September 18, 2015 would be removed from the payroll.
The Court of Appeal said it would give a ruling on November 6 on whether the 50 – 60 per cent pay rise awarded to the teachers by the Employment and Labour Relations Court in June this year was according to law.
Teachers resumed duty on October 5 of this month following a court order.
The exams kicked off smoothly on Monday morning as students sat for their Home Science paper one.
