KNEC Payment Postponed for Invigilators and Supervisors
KNEC Payment Postponed for Invigilators and Supervisors. Supervisors and invigilators for the 2022 KNEC have once again got terrible news regarding their salary. It has been made clear that they won’t receive payment for the tasks they completed last year until at least September of this year.
The Education Ministry has come upfront about its plans to remedy the lengthy payment delays. Finally, the Ministry explained the delays as a result of payments made to KNEC invigilators and supervisors due to tight budgetary allocations.
Belio Kipsang, the senior secretary for basic education, stated that KNEC has till August to make sure that the payments of hired experts for the 2022 KCSE exam are completed. This was said by him on Tuesday of the prior week when he spoke before the House Education Committee.

The chief secretary stated that more than 40,000 examiners who helped mark the 2022 national exams required to be paid more than 1 billion shillings. He did say that the amount would be included in the budget for the 2023–2024 fiscal year, though.
The approximately 40,000 teachers who had been guaranteed paid this month after the budget is read have now abandoned their plans in the wake of this most recent announcement from Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang. They will now have to wait a little bit longer to receive the monies, which is awful news for them.
The Senate Committee on Education had previously asked KNEC to explain why it had taken so long to pay the instructors’ dues. It is wrong to take this long to pay the instructors since this is sheer discrimination. The teachers’ dues must be paid as quickly as feasible.
Following a public uproar from instructors regarding the non-payment of work they had done, the Senate Education Committee decided to bring up the issue. The senate committee on education was motivated by this situation to examine KNEC CEO David Njengere regarding the reason the teachers hadn’t received payment.
The legislators recommended that a distinct, dedicated fund be established and paid to monitor the affairs of teachers who participate in test supervision.
