Reasons for the Delayed Salary Payments to BoM Teachers at Kapchemibei High School


Teachers who are employed by the Board of Management (BoG) are currently urging the relevant authorities to intervene and ensure that their salaries are disbursed in a timely manner.

  It has been brought to public attention that the principal Julius Mibei has been withholding their salaries for periods extending up to two months, and when payments are eventually made, they are often received as late as the middle of the month. This situation is occurring at a time when students are required to pay their fees promptly, while teachers are left without timely compensation. In discussions with us, under strict conditions of anonymity due to fears of retaliation, the teachers expressed that they are facing severe financial difficulties, making it challenging to fulfill their family responsibilities. They assert that their inability to support their families stems from the principal's failure to fulfill his obligations to ensure timely salary payments. The teachers have accused him of exercising excessive authority, intimidation, coercion, and issuing threats to those who hold differing views. His leadership approach has been criticized as inadequate, contributing to a decline in academic performance. As a result, stakeholders are now advocating for his immediate transfer.

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...

A report from the Auditor General for the period ending June 30, 2024, has issued serious recommendations regarding the management led by Principal Jane Mureithi, who took charge on May 23, 2022.
