KNUT Indicates a Strike in Response to Teacher Salary Deductions

Collins Oyuu, the secretary-general of KNUT, has stated his intention to ask the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) for clarification over the unexpected drop of teachers’ salaries in July 2023 rather than the anticipated pay increase promised by the President.

Oyuu voiced surprise and worry that the commission had broken President Ruto’s promise of a 7 to 10% salary raise for teachers beginning on July 1 during an interview on Thursday, July 27.

In addition to emphasizing that the panel cannot reverse what the president promised in the open, he requested an explanation for the abrupt turnabout.

“We are dealing with the problem. SRC cannot claim that they are still organizing or that the review isn’t complete. They haven’t been working, right? Oyuu questioned, insisting that the announcement made by the president should be followed.

He forewarned that although they have not yet taken any action, they will respond forcefully and demand that the president’s statement be respected.
Teachers are dissatisfied with the situation and concerned about the sudden changes to their salary.

Along with the confusion, teachers are now paying into the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) for the first time ever, which causes inconsistencies in their pay stubs.

The NSSF rates, which have various contribution levels for persons earning below and beyond Ksh10,000, are the source of the confusion.

President Ruto’s move to evaluate teachers’ payslips was initially warmly embraced by them since they saw it as a long overdue action given the high expense of living in the nation.

In two parts, Ruto’s proposal was to be adopted and called for a favorable review of 7 to 10% for individuals with lower earnings.

The National Treasury announced on Wednesday that government employee paychecks for the month of July would be late as a result of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) advising the government to set up a new payroll system.

A contemporary online Unified Human Resource (UHR) system will take the place of the antiquated manual Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD), according to a department announcement.

Government employees have been notified via memo by the Ministry of Public Service that the State’s payroll processes have been seriously impacted by a significant technology error.

Part of the memo read, “This is to inform you that there has been a delay in the processing of salaries for the month of July 2023, due to the logistic challenges occasioned by the migration of the old manual Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD) system to the New Online Unified Human Resource (UHR) system.”
