Acting TSC CEO Eveleen Mitei appears before the Committee on Implementation on enhancement of house allowances for teachers at 10 am, Bunge Towers
In Kenya, teachers receive house allowances to assist with housing costs, in addition to their basic salary, as determined by the TSC. The amount varies based on the teacher's job group (grade) and location.
