The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has refuted reports of stopping Sacco deductions from teacher’s salaries.
In response to a post that was circulating on social media, TSC, today morning flagged the post as fake.
The Commission has therefore advised teachers and the general public to ignore the fake posts.
The post purported that the Commission had allegedly planned to stop enforcing Sacco deductions from salaries, marking a change to how teachers contribute to the Saccos.

“Teachers will now actively manage their Sacco payments instead of relying on automatic deductions. They’ll use modern payment methods such as mobile money or online banking,” claimed the flagged post.
“This marks a transformative change in the way teachers in Kenya contribute to the Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisations from traditional Sacco contributions and loan payments which are deducted automatically,” the post added.
It was alleged that teachers would be required to make Sacco payments on their own.
Presently, Sacco deductions for contributions and loan repayments are usually deducted before the money is remitted to the accounts of teachers.
Mwalimu National Sacco is one of the most famous Saccos where teachers make monthly contributions.
