Teachers have been advised to invest while they are still under employment so that they can enjoy their retirement once it comes calling.
This was said during a retirement fete for three teachers in Talau Comprehensive School in West Pokot Sub-County, West Pokot County who have proceeded to retirement after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60.
Speaking during the fete that brought together teachers, parents and learners, the County Curriculum Officer Neilson Musani advised that it’s good to thank God after reaching such an age.
The CCO outlined that there will be no normal flow of salary as has been the case before and advised the working teachers to do a lot of investments that would secure their future in the event of retirement.
The three teachers were Hannington Koskei, Samuel Chepushen and Rodah Namukhaywa.
The principal of the school Barnabas Chirchir stated that the three teachers have been working tirelessly and going out of their way to ensure that learners succeed in their lives.
He said the school will miss their services and advised them to go home and reflect the same style of dedicated workmanship.
