A row is brewing between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and unions over the fate of more than 99,000 teachers currently serving in acting capacity.
The standoff was laid bare on Thursday, during a session of the National Assembly's Education Committee.
Lawmakers questioned why the commission has retained a significant number of school administrators in acting roles-despite the government having allocated a budget for permanent appointments.
At the center of the dispute is a proposed amendment to the Teachers Service Commission Act, sponsored by Mandera South MP Haro Abdul Ebrahim, that seeks to anchor teacher allowances in law-a move TSC opposes.
