Oyuu Calls Attention to Unremitted Teachers’ Loan Deductions
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Colllins Oyuu has addressed the issue of teachers’ loan deductions that have not been remitted to banks.
Oyuu explained that teachers are aware that their loans are being repaid comfortably.
However, banks have been sending letters to them, indicating that the deducted money intended for bank remittance has not been received.
Oyuu has reiterated its threat to strike if the second phase of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is not enforced.

“The issue of deductions, that have not been remitted to banks, it is very logical that a teacher has a loan, the teacher knows too well that he or she is comfortably repaying the loan, but the banks are writing to them, meaning this money was deducted to be remitted to the bank, it has not reached the bank,” said Oyuu.
CBA Implementation Concerns
During a press conference, KNUT Secretary-General Collins Oyuu expressed concerns regarding the Teachers Service Commission’s (TSC) failure to honor the CBA, which was signed and registered in the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
