The teachers will return to class with a Sh16.2 billion deal for their commuter, responsibility and reader allowances, as had earlier been agreed between them and the government. The payout will be made in two phases — Sh5.7 billion will be released immediately and the rest in the next financial year. This will see the lowest and the highest paid teachers take home Sh4,000 and Sh16,000 every month in commuter allowances. The agreement also stipulates that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will pay out the teachers’ June salaries on Thursday. TSC will also withdraw the contempt of court case against Knut officials, whose ruling was to be made on Monday next week. The call came soon after Education Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi declared public primary schools closed indefinitely. Knut officials were meeting with Deputy President William Ruto at the time Prof Kaimenyi made the declaration.
