TEACHERS LOSERS ONCE AGAIN.
It is not a rare occurrence for teachers to plan their infamous strikes closer to national exams later in the year. This they do deliberately to leave the government with nearly no options, except to agree to their, then salary demands. At such times closing the school indefinitely is normally not the best option.
It is appalling how the issue of teachers pay can never be resolved by a sitting government once and for all. In one way or another they normally use this issue as a campaign strategy. Consequently teachers always find themselves in this pay rise impasse, to such an extend that even the teachers themselves use their own grievances to broker political deals. In which union officials use fellow teachers as political baits and so teachers end up being trapped in the cycle. Right from the infamous Nyayo regime to the equally evil digital regime.

The morass of teachers salary increase, seem not to wad
off. It has become a political contrivance to the power brokers, union
officials. As Chairman Mudzo Nzili loughs to the bank after his
appointment to the NHIF and, Secretary general Wilson Sosion could
have just secured something to fly him in his political ambition.
