BBF Deductions from KUPPET Teachers Halted by TSC
The cessation of Branch Benevolent Fund (BBF) deductions from members of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has been initiated by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
This action comes in response to a letter dated May 21, 2024, directed to the union’s Secretary General Akelo Misori, signed by the Commission’s Director for Legal and Industrial Relations Cavin Anyuor on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer Dr Nancy Macharia.
The letter indicates that the cessation is attributed to a constitutional petition submitted by five KUPPET officials contesting the legality of the union’s Social Welfare and BBF.
Constitutional Petition No. E008/2024 at the Employment and Labour Relations Court, initiated by five KUPPET Branch Executive Secretaries – Paul Kipchumba Rotich, William Lengoiyap, Robert Miano, Peter Oluoch, and Jentrix Ogola, is referenced in the letter.
This petition questions the legality of the KUPPET Social Welfare/BBF deductions, providing Jentrix Ogola’s payslip as evidence.

Furthermore, it directs the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate TSC regarding these deductions.
The initiation of Teachers Social Welfare and BBF deductions was based on a letter dated May 17, 2021 (Ref. KUPPET/TSC/015/21), conveying the resolution from the KUPPET Annual Delegates Conference held on April 3, 2021.
