Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i has declared Tuesday May 3 a public holiday to Mark Idd-ul-Fitr, celebrating the end of Ramadhan.

He made the announcement in a special gazette notice issued on Tuesday.

The gazettement read:

“It is notified for the general information of the public that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2 (1) of the Public Holidays Act, declares that Tuesday, the 3rd May 2022, shall be a public holiday to mark Idd-ul-Fitr,” read the notice.


Kenyan High Court stops The University of Nairobi from implementing planned reforms

Courtesy of Citizen Digital

The High Court has stopped the University of Nairobi (UoN) from implementing planned reforms pending hearing and determination of a case filed by the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU).

UASU accused the UoN administration of developing the reforms without the input of key stakeholders such as the students’ association, the Commission for University Education, the Public Service Commission and the Ministry of Education.

The union, in a petition filed through lawyer Koceyo Titus, argued that the new structure is not anchored in law and has led to loss of jobs by UASU members as well as loss of courses in complete disregard to the students.

“…the Petitioner is a necessary key stakeholder on matters that touch on administration of public universities as it directly affects the services rendered by its members and the terms of service of its members,” read court papers.

“…the Respondent willfully failed to give policy guidance to the Vice Chancellor of the 1st Respondent so much that the intended reforms have no policy framework nor transitional guidelines from the current governance structure which has caused anxiety, disquiet and confusion in the university.”

Lady Justice Maureen Onyango, in her ruling, set the matter for hearing on July 28, 2021, adding that: “In the meantime, conservatory orders are granted pending Inter parties hearing of the application.”

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha recently suspended the proposed administrative changes in the University of Nairobi saying the changes must follow the law.

While lauding the move by various universities to ensure their academic and administrative structures conform to their financial muscle, Prof. Magoha termed the proposed changes at UoN illegal.

The changes by the university council touched on reorganisation of the administrative structure, which included abolishing 24 constituent colleges from the normal 35 to 11.

The changes meant to also abolish five offices of the deputy vice-chancellors and replace it with two positions of associate vice chancellors.

Breaking News: Finally KNUT CALLS OFF TEACHERS STRIKE

Deputy President William Ruto (centre) welcomes Knut officials Wilson Sossion (left) and Nzili Mudzu (right) to his office July 17, 2013. Knut called off the teachers' strike after agreeing a pay deal with the government.
Nairobi Kenya: The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) has called off the teachers' strike after agreeing a pay deal with the government.
The teachers will return to class with a Sh16.2 billion deal spread out in two phases, as had earlier been agreed between them and the government.
"We have assessed the government offer over time and we are satisfied that we have put in place proper mechanisms through engagement... with that in mind, the National Executive Council has now authorised the secretary general to call off the strike,” said Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) chairman Wilson Sossion. 
He was speaking after a two-hour meeting with Deputy President William Ruto ... Daily Nation

Breaking News: Kenyan Government Oders Shut Down of All Public Primary Schools

Prof: Jacob Kaimenyi
Nairobi Kenya: The government has ordered the immediate closure of all public primary schools following the teachers’ strike, which is now in its fourth week.

Education Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi said primary schools will remain shut until the standoff between the tutors and the government is resolved.

“The primary school teachers continue to participate in an illegal and unconstitutional strike having refused to comply with the legal directives of the Teachers Service Commission – in other words their employer – which is in breach of their code of employment and law,” he explained.

Kaimenyi however clarified that students in secondary schools will continue with their studies following a deal struck with the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET).
“The government appreciates the agreement made between the Teachers Service Commission and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers that has returned normalcy to post primary institutions,” Kaimenyi said.

Even as he announced the closure of all public primary schools, Kaimenyi sought to assure those sitting their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams this year that arrangements have been made to ensure they are not disenfranchised.

“The government assures all class eight pupils, parents and the public that adequate arrangements have been made to address their situation with respect to their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examinations,” he said.

Kaimenyi’s assurances have however been criticised by the Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK) which threatened to seek legal intervention if the schools are not reopened within seven days.

“That the closure does not affect pupils in private schools, sitting for the same national examinations, can only amount to discrimination against majority pupils from humble backgrounds,” COFEK Program Officer Margaret Obondo indicated.
