CS National Treasury Summoned to Appear Before tjr Senate Education Committee over Pending Teachers Claims Petition
Earlier today, the Senate Education Committee, led by Vice Chair Senator Peris Tobiko, was scheduled to meet with Cabinet Secretary National Treasury and Economic Planning, Njuguna Ndungu, who was meant to apprise the Committee on the Petition concerning claims by Teachers who retired between 1997 and 2007. As the Cabinet Secretary was unable to appear before the Members today, the Committee resolved, through the Vice Chair, that the Cabinet Secretary would have to honour the fine earlier imposed and a further invitation date to address the Committee given. “For the purpose of the Teachers suffering, we need answers” stated Senator Agnes Kavindu.
