Breaking: Gov’t to employ more JSS teachers.
The government will in the next financial year reportedly employ more Junior Secondary School (JSS) Teachers in a move to address the current shortage.
In the same period, according to KBC TV all JSS teachers who are interns will be employed fully with the government setting aside funds for the exercise.
This was brought to light by Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, who detailed that parliament through a supplementary budget had allocated funds for employing more teachers.
Speaking in Kikopey Gilgil during a harambee, Nyoro noted that the gov’t had also set aside an extra Ksh 5 billion for capitation in schools.
“In the next financial year all interns serving as JSS teachers will be employed permanently as we get more teachers,” Said Ndindi Nyoro.
The MP also defended the government over the high cost of living which has resulted to prices of basic commodities rise.
He revealed that the prices of maize flour had come down due to the subsidized fertiliser programme.
He further noted that despite the public outcry the country’s economy growth was among the top in the world.
“We understand the public outcry but the government is addressing this and we have set funds to boast all cash crops,” he said.
Others who spoke at the event were Gilgil MP Martha Wangari who laid praises on church for its role in the society.
