The Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) has asked President William Ruto to promote them in order to honor the government’s promise made at State House last year.
KUSNET General Secretary James Torome said President Ruto directed in September 2025 that teachers be awarded an additional job group, but the directive remains unimplemented, denying teachers the expected salary increments.
“Six months down the line, the Presidential directive has not been implemented. The President promised us. We are asking TSC to move with speed. Before the end of this month, we want to get the results,” said Torome.

Torome, speaking during a donation exercise at Hope Special School said the teachers have been patient enough and the Teachers Service Commission should now move quickly to fast-track implementation before the end of the month.
He also called on Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to release funds to facilitate the promotions and challenged TSC leadership to act with urgency.
Torome further criticized delays in allocating 20 per cent of affordable housing units promised to teachers, saying the agreement lapsed on March 13 without clarity, and called for the dismissal of Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga over the issue.
