Walimu wadai maelezo kuhusu makato ya PAYE yaliyoongezeka

Walimu nchini Kenya wanataka ufafanuzi kutoka kwa Tume ya Huduma za Walimu baada ya kuona makato ya juu ya Pay As You Earn katika payslip za Juni.

Walimu wengi waliripoti ongezeko la takriban shilingi 108 katika makato ya kodi ya mapato ikilinganishwa na miezi iliyopita. Hii imesababisha wasiwasi miongoni mwa waalimu ambao tayari wanajitahidi kukabiliana na gharama ya juu ya maisha.

Maafisa wa vyama vya walimu wanakadiria kuwa ikiwa makato ya ziada yatatumika kwa walimu zaidi ya 300,000 walioajiriwa na TSC, inaweza kufikia shilingi milioni 32.4 za ziada katika ukusanyaji wa kodi kwa mwezi mmoja. Ukaguzi wa haraka ulionyesha mfano wa mwalimu aliyepokea Ksh10,334 badala ya Ksh10,442, ikimaanisha punguzo la ziada la Ksh108.

Suala hili limeibuka siku chache baada ya TSC na vyama vya walimu kutia saini Miongozo ya Maendeleo ya Kazi ya 2026. TSC bado haijatoa ufafanuzi wowote rasmi kuhusu mabadiliko hayo.

Three days after President William Ruto's Labour Day announcement of a 12% wage increase for all workers and 15% minimum wage hike for agricultural sector employees, workers must wait for legal steps before changes take effect in payslips.
