Moriti scheme a lifeline for teachers’ families – BTU

While acknowledging concerns raised by some members regarding consultation and affordability, the union says the scheme reflects its broader vision of evolving beyond traditional labour representation to provide long-term protection against life-altering challenges such as death, disability, critical illness and accidents for its members. BTU said it wanted to diffuse misconceptions and efforts to decampaign a noble scheme for the benefit of the many. BTU says that due process and consultations leading to a collective decision/resolution were conducted, and that communication was made through a memorandum dated May 8, 2026, informing them that the scheme would take effect at the end of this month.

Contacted to clarify issues raised by concerned members, the BTU Secretary General, Norman Baraedi, said he had announced the formal implementation of the Moriti GLA scheme following a National Governing Council (NGC) meeting held on April 18, 2026.
