The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been urged by the Senate Committee on Trade and Tourism to stop deducting money from teachers who have withdrawn from Metropolitan Sacco, which has gone under.
The committee chairman Okiya Omutatah has also requested that all remissions to the Sacco be halted, stating that teachers have withdrawn from the institution.
“Why continue remitting the money to a savings account after they (teachers) have pulled out?” he wondered.
He added: “Salaries and other savings are the teachers’ property, and we must protect them. We will not allow their hard-earned savings to be swindled around,” warned Omutatah.
The committee plans to summon the CS for cooperatives Simon Chelugui and the TSC boss next week to explain the disappearance of teachers’ money from Metropolitan Sacco.
The affected teachers have been assured by the committee that they will protect their properties and hard-earned savings.
