The Teachers Service Commission has finally broken its silence on the salary delays that have faced several teachers in the country.
Most of the teachers affected are those who were recruited in January, the majority of whom were interns.
The TSC recruited 35,550 Junior Secondary School teachers who reported to their stations in February and March 2023.
In a statement, TSC acknowledged that some teachers had not received their pay.

"As is a procedure, the recruits are given 30 days within which to report to their various stations, which leads to some commencing their work later than others," TSC said.
"This sometimes causes delays in the processing of their salaries."
The commission however said they are in the process of ensuring all teachers receive their pay.
TSC has assured all teachers that their salaries will be paid in May.
"So far, the Commission has processed over 50% of the salaries of the newly employed teachers. Teachers can confirm the payments with their respective banks."
"We apologise for any delays that may have been occasioned by late reporting of teachers to their stations, or delayed submission of requisite documents. All efforts are being made to effect all the salaries in May 2023," the TSC statement read.
