Allowances for the training
Being a virtual training, the trainees should expect airtime allowance from the school. This may vary depending on the muscles of the school but it cannot be less than ksh. 1000. Those with Wi-Fi in their schools should expect very little.
Some sub counties will conduct the exercise for four days.
TSC has not communicated about any allowance. It is however expected to communicate on the opening session.
