The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has urged the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) not to delay payments for teachers who are taking part in invigilation, supervision and marking of the examinations that kicked off across the country on Monday.
Secretary General Collins Oyuu said KNEC over the years have taken the work done by teachers for granted by overstaying with their payments.
"Out teachers have done their part and candidates are now sitting the exams but KNEC is not serious with these examinations. KNEC has left teachers to have a very negative attitude towards these exams," he said. "What these teachers are getting is honoraria, which KNEC has refused to pay in time making out teachers to beg for payments," he said.
"It will not be business as usual this time round, I want to tell KNEC that they must prepare to meet us if they fail to pay our teachers in time," he said.
