Teachers' Allowance

Teachers working in hardship can now breathe easy after the government resolved to continue paying them hardship allowance as a percentage of their pay. Public Service Minister Dalmas Otieno said those working in hardship zones will receive 30 per cent of their basic salary as hardship allowance as opposed to an earlier directive that all public servants earn a flat allowance of 5,000 shillings in moderate hardship areas and 10,000 in extreme hardship areas. Other civil servants will however start earning their revised hardship allowances as stipulated by the new standardized rates effective 1st of July this year. Sheila Sendeyo reports.
