The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has publicly endorsed the National Assembly’s decision to halt the delocalization program that TSC adopted in 2018.
KNUT Hesbon Otieno, the deputy secretary general, told newsdesk that the approach has never produced any positive results in terms of school management, quality of instruction, or administration.
Every policy must yield outcomes. Since the implementation of delocalization, there hasn’t been any progress in the management and administration of schools, according to Otieno.
He mentioned that when the union first approached the employer Teachers Service Commission (TSC), that organization made a commitment to scrap the policy.

Since it is in line with our thoughts, he added, “Any other voice that may advocate for the elimination of the delocalization policy is welcomed.”
Since the policy’s inception, KNUT and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) have never backed it.
The unions claimed that the implementation process was hurried and that it overlooked concerns about spousal proximity, as well as the age and health of some of those affected, even though TSC had taken these considerations into account when making earlier transfers and deployments.
