-

Police in Nyamira on Friday arrested a census official for using a census laptop and a power bank as collateral after he failed to pay a beer bill.
The officer, an ICT expert, was apprehended after he missed pre-census preparation and briefing meeting on Wednesday.  
Mr Japhan Wachiali, the head of statistics in Nyamira, said the officer has since been interdicted and replaced.
Authorities say that their investigations show that the officer, who wanted drink beer, did not have money to pay his bills.
He offered the census gadgets as collateral. It is not clear how much beer he had consumed by the time of his arrest.

KNUT SECRETARY GENERAL WILSON SOSSION WANTS TSC ABOLISHED

-
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT)  Secretary General Wilson Sossion now wants the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) to be abolished. According to Mr. Sossion, who blames the commission for the endless stalemate between the government and teachers, an independent body should be created to help in the regulation of teachers’ welfare. Mr. Sossion also revealed that the union had already proposed amendments in the TSC Act that should only leave the commission with the responsibility of employing teachers. “The mandate that we granted TSC is bad, we need to return it back into the Ministry of Education.
