In the middle of the coronavirus global pandemic, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has said that it will not pay over 3,500 teachers and secretariat staff who by the 14th of January 2020 failed to file their wealth declaration.

The commission released the sad news through a circular dated the 14th of April 2020.

In the circular, TSC CEO said, those who did not comply with the government’s directive of filing the wealth declaration online have been removed from the TSC payroll.

However, the commission says that those teachers will only be returned to the payroll after meeting certain conditions.

The conditions stated by TSC includes; writing a letter through the headteacher or principal or supervisor, explaining why they did not follow the instructions set by the government of declaring their wealth.

Besides, their immediate supervisors must confirm that the teachers or the workers are currently active.

The circular reads ” The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing, that the employee has been in active service, and /or has been teaching all along”

After writing the letter it should be signed by the supervisor, and forwarded to the teachers service commission headquarters through the county director stroke sub-county director, says the circular.

All the Kenyan government employees were mandated by law to file their wealth declarations online for the year 2017/2019. The procedure entailed declaring individual Income, Assets, and Liabilities by the 31st of December 2019 through the Wealth Declaration online portal.

More than 3,500 TSC employees have faced the wrath of the commission after failing to declare their 2017/2019 Income, Assets, and Liabilities by 31 December, 2019 through the TSC Wealth Declaration online portal.

This will doubtlessly add salt to already injured teachers bearing in mind that covid-19 pandemic has brought the economy to its knees.

In a circular dated April 14, 2020, TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia has noted that teachers and secretariat staff who failed to declare wealth will miss April 2020 salary.

“However, over 3,500 employees (secretariat staff and teachers) did not declare their Wealth within the stipulated deadline. Consequently, the Commission has stopped the employees‘ salaries for Non–Compliance from March and April 2020 payrolls.” said TSC CEO Nancy Macharia.

Last year TSC cautioned that teachers who fail to submit or gives false or misleading information is liable to a fine of Kshs. 1,000,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding (1) one year or both upon conviction.

Reinstatement

For the affected employees to be reinstated back on payroll, the commission has indicated that they have to fulfill of the following requirements:

1.  The respective employees (staff and teachers) are required to write a letter through their immediate Supervisor/Head teacher/Principal to explain why they did not adhere to the instructions to declare their wealth as stipulated in law.
2. The Headteacher/Principal/Supervisor to confirm in writing that the employee has been in active service and /or has been teaching all along.  The letter should be validated and forwarded to TSC Headquarters by the TSC County Director/TSC Sub–County.
3. To fast track reinstatement, the letters be scanned and emailed to TSC  headquarters with a covering letter listing the forwarded cases, by the TSC County Director.
4. The scanned documents should be submitted to the HRM Digits group  emails:– allhrmdigits@gmail.com and copy to hrmdigits@tsc.go.ke and ddippd@tsc.go.ke
5. For reconciliation purposes, indicate on the Remarks column of the  Excel list sent to the County, the status of the specific employee such as; – teaching/in service, retired, resigned, interdicted etc. The updated excel sheet to be submitted to the emails in No. 4.

Below is the copy of the TSC Circular about TSC stoping salaries of over 3,500 Teachers and staff.

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.

We should turn out men able to discern the good from the bad. It is our hope and prayer that we may produce such men; men sound in character with a deep and lasting faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Master; men who, not only discern the truth but have the courage to stand by their convictions.”

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.

Are you filing your Kenya Revenue Authority, KRA, individual tax returns and having difficulties? Well, here is your ultimate guide on all that you need in order to file your returns, online, successfully. Filing nil returns is pretty easy as compared to individual income tax declarations. for the latter, there are two categories i.e those having withholding certificates and those without them.

Here is all that you need to know and have in order to file your returns:

• • P9 Form: This is generated by your employer. It is a tax card showing the amounts of tax, relief and gross salary paid by the employer for a particular financial year.
  • Portal for filing your returns: The KRA returns are filed at the iTax Portal that can be accessed by using the link; https://itax.kra.go.ke/KRA-Portal/

• Procedure for filing individual tax returns: For a simplified procedure for filing individual tax returns, visit

• • Type of tax obligation: There are three types of individual tax obligations that can be declared. Income Tax Resident Individual is for Kenyans or residents (living in Kenya). On the other hand, Income Tax Non-resident is filed by individuals in respect of any employment with or services rendered to an employer who is resident in Kenya or to a permanent establishment in Kenya. 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.
  • Type of return: The type of return can be either original (if filing for the first time for a particular financial year) or amended (if making subsequent declarations/ corrections to the original return declaration).
  • Return period: This is the year for which a declaration is to be made. It shows the first day of the year/ Return period from (i.e 01/01/2019) and the last day of that particular year/ Return Period to (i.e 31/12/2019).
