By OUMA WANZALAMore by this AuthorNational Assembly’s Education Committee on Tuesday clashed with teachers union officials over the controversial delocalisation policy. MPs took umbrage over comments made by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) assistant-secretary general, who accused Teachers Service Commission (TSC) of failing to consult them when it formulated the policy. The Knut official, Mr Clement Omollo, told MPs that there is no single advantage brought by delocalisation of teachers and the policy is inhumane. "We ask that transfers be restricted within home counties so that teachers can be near their families," Mr Omollo told the committee. But the programme still faces criticism as teachers affected by transfers are usually separated with their families, some leading to marriage break ups.
