Speaking during the home coming party for Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary (CS) Wycliffe Oparanya, Nyoro downplayed the fears that the money isn’t available after the 2024 Finance Bill failed to pass into law, urging the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to ensure that the teachers are confirmed and issued with PnP letters.
