46,000 JSS Teachers to be absorbed on PnP terms despite budget cuts: Junior secondary school teachers’ employment on permanent terms will remain untouched. The same applies to fertilizer subsidies, which will also remain untouched by recent budget cuts. This is according to Ndindi Nyoro, chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Kiharu MP.
Safeguarding crucial expenditures
The young legislature confirmed this adjustment despite the Finance Bill, 2024, not becoming law. He was speaking at Kiharu Technical and Vocational College while issuing bursaries for secondary and tertiary students. Nyoro assured that the Ruto administration is protecting important expenditures.

He emphasized that the 46,000 junior secondary school teachers currently interning will be transitioned to permanent and pensionable terms. This will ensure fair compensation for all teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission.
KES 10 billion fertilizer subsidy
Nyoro underscored the importance of agriculture. He affirmed that subsidised fertiliser will continue to be available for farmers cultivating both food and cash crops.
He announced the committee’s plan to allocate Sh10 billion for subsidised fertiliser in the upcoming budget adjustments.
“I also want to assure all Kenyan farmers that we will include Sh10 billion for subsidised fertiliser as the Budget committee adjusts the budget next week,” he said.
