Thika High School was initially known as the “Thogoto Agricutural Teacher Training Centre” which was started in 1951 at Thogoto. It was a kind of farmers training centre but it was also used to train Agriculture teachers giving them an inservice course which led to their upgrading.

In 1956 it was decided that the centre should have a secondary education component and the first secondary school boys were taken. a single stream was planned for a maximum of 300 sudents.

In 1957 it was agreed that the secondary school at Thogoto should be moved to Thika and the Teacher Training at Thika be moved to Thogoto. The school moved to Thika in January 1959 and the first group of students sat the Cambridge school certificate that year. The name of the school was changed from Thogoto High School to Thika High School.

Teachers have devised ways of smarting out of the effects meted by the current Corona virus pandemic. Instead of just idling around, the teachers are maximizing on the ample time span at their disposal to rake it in. The current Covid19 Pandemic has seen a quick shift in lifestyle; with the onset of the stringent measures actualized by the government to combat the pandemic.

Some teachers are offering online services at a pocket friendly fee. Top in this list is the crop of tutors providing Kenya Revenue Authority, KRA, services. These include: Registering new KRA certificates, Filing individual tax returns, downloading P9 certificates, Resetting KRA Passwords, changing KRA individual Email addresses, Changing and updating tax obligations on iTax portal. These services are provided at charges of between Sh.0 and Sh.500. still on online assistance, one can be assisted with online services partaining to Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).

“I file between 10 to 15 KRA returns (and other related services) per day; on average. I charge Sh.150 for those with withholding certificates and Sh.100 for those without the certificates,” said one teacher who has been offering the service for about five years, now. A quick calculation shows that this teacher earns close to Sh.1,000 per day.

According to this teacher, his clients are only expected to send iTax log in credentials via WhatsApp. payment is done via Mpesa once the E-slip is generated. “I have seen a spike in the numbers of clients this year. This is partly to the current corona virus pandemic that has seen closure of most cyber cafes and Huduma Centres,” he adds. At Huduma centres filing is done at no cost and all that one needs to present is his/ her P9 form.

“Most of my clients are teachers. I reset their KRA passwords free of charge. I have specialized in filing returns for teachers contracted by the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, as examiners. For this group of teachers, declaration of withholding tax is required,” he notes. This is the easiest task to execute as one requires only a working computer (with the necessary software) and a MODEM/ phone.

Then, there are those teachers providing E-learning services, exam materials and consultancy services. since kids are at home, most parents are grappling with engaging the kids. As such, electronic revision materials are coming-in-handy. Some teachers have developed a number of these materials in soft copy. They then share question papers on various social media platforms. To assess the work done at home, parents and/ or teachers require marking schemes. Consequently, the teachers provide their phone contacts on the question papers and those willing can request marking schemes for as low as Sh.50 per paper set. The marking schemes are sent via Email or WhatsApp after the payment is completed through Mpesa.

Since some schools have created WhatsApp groups for their learners (using the parent/ guardians’ phone numbers), it is booming business for these tutors. Other schools have been providing assignments through email services.

Similarly, a section of teachers has been executing paid online advertisements and promotional services. One provides a referral code to a given online service provider and gets commissions if a customer uses the code. But, on a sad end, this has become the new scamming avenue for scammers. The scammers promise ‘huge bonuses’ to any one who shares the link to a given number of individuals or social media groups.

There are also those teachers earning from writing services; by writing a given number of articles or pages. Others are paid for completing online assignments. Block chain and Bitcoins are other avenues used to mint money online.

Finally, the current situation has provided those with businesses, firms and farms ample time to maximize on profits.

They are not entitled to any personal reliefs. Finally, the third type of individual tax is Income Tax Rental income. This is tax payable by resident persons on residential rental income accrued or derived in Kenya where the rent income is between Kshs. 144,000 (Kshs. 12,000 per month) and Kshs. 10 million per annum.

Education CS George Magoha has urged parents to keep calm and avoid listening to fearmongers spreading rumours exams will be postponed.

“I urge Kenyans to listen to one voice, the anointed voice…,” he said on Sunday during the daily briefing on Covid-19.

“I’m aware parents are very apprehensive, but they should be fair to themselves because the government has not pronounced itself on the matter,” he said.

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha has come out to reassure parents that the government remains optimistic that the coronavirus pandemic will not interfere with the national examinations calendar.

In a press briefing on Sunday, Prof. Magoha said students are undergoing online learning, adding that the Education Ministry has not considered postponing this year’s KCPE or KCSE exams.

“Up to this moment, nobody has thought of postponing the KCPE and KCSE exams and to the best of the government’s ability the children are getting online learning,” said Magoha.

The Covid-19 pandemic has reignited supremacy wars between the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet).

The two unions appear to be reading from different scripts as far as teachers rights during the pandemic are concerned.

The dispute began when Kuppet Secretary-General Akelo Misori asked the Ministry of Education to consider postponing this year’s national examinations scheduled for October and November.

However, Mr Misori’s counterpart in Knut, Mr Wilson Sossion, said the call is misguided.

Bloggers have accused Mr Sossion of being petty and using his position to fight a rival union instead of ensuring teachers’ and learners’ rights are protected.

Mr Sossion wrote to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) disapproving Kuppet’s proposal to have tutors’ loan interests during the pandemic waived.

Mr Misori had asked TSC to withhold the deductions and liaise with financial institutions on behalf of teachers.

DEDUCTIONS

On April 16, Mr Sossion wrote to TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia, accusing Kuppet of attempting to bring down teachers’ savings and credit cooperative societies (saccos).

Mr Sossion described the proposal as illegal and retrogressive. “Saccos are the economic lifelines of teachers and their dependants. If their operations are halted, the future of teachers and their families will be ruined,” the Knut boss said.

He said effecting the proposal would kill saccos and the cooperative movement in general.

The Knut boss said loan and third party deductions on teachers’ salaries should continue despite the economic challenges facing the country.

Mr Sossion added that if the Kuppet proposals are effected, saccos will not be able to process loans for teachers or conduct their day-to-day business.

Mr Sossion said Kuppet did not consult teachers before writing to the commission. In a rejoinder, Kuppet told Mr Sossion to deep off its affairs.

Mr Misori said Kuppet would continue fighting for teachers’ welfare “and we will not be intimidated by Sossion”.

TOUGH ECONOMY

He said no amount of obfuscation would make anyone to think that Kuppet is plotting to bring down teachers’ saccos.

“All he does is to imagine new ways of picking up fights with Kuppet,” Mr Misori said. “Having turned Knut into a one-man show, all Sossion does is stalk Kuppet.”

Mr Misori said he has already written to members urging them not to engage in petty differences, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Our hope was that Mr Sossion would reflect on his ways and avoid being petty and squabbling with Kuppet, if only during this pandemic. How naive I was!” he said.

The Kuppet chief added that the argument by his counterpart in Kuppet is misguided and urged teachers to unite as the country fights the global pandemic.

He said, Kuppet is not bringing down cooperative societies, adding that Mr Sossion has confused interest on loans and sacco subscriptions.

Mr Misori said workers are going through tough times to sustain themselves, their families and others.

“It is for this reason that the government has come up with new fiscal regulations to allow individuals continue running their businesses. The interventions include using the Central Bank of Kenya and the Banking Acts,” Mr Misori said.

MANAGEMENT OF SACCOS

He added that Kuppet has received many complains from teachers wondering why interest on their loans was deducted, against government directives.

“Neither the government nor Kuppet has told TSC to stop teachers’ sacco contributions. Most sacco deductions, including loan repayments, will continue,” he said.

Last week, the Cooperative Alliance of Kenya (CAK) appealed to saccos to suspend interest on members’ loans during the Covid-19 pandemic.

CAK Chief Executive Officer Daniel Marube said evaluation of the economic implications of coronavirus has found that co-op society members are worse off financially “since a majority have been sent on unpaid leave”.

The CEO also expressed concern that the management of many saccos are worried about an emerging trend, where members are applying to withdraw their savings.
