The leadership of Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Samburu County has condemned the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for demoting 158 teachers from the region who it promoted a month ago.
Speaking during a press briefing on Friday, Samburu KUPPET branch Executive Secretary William Lengoiyap termed the sudden demotions as unfair. "This is especially unfair, if you take into consideration the length of time the process took, and how vigorous the process was before the teachers were promoted," Lengoiyap said.
He described the promotion process as long and rigorous, involving applications, document submissions, and interviews conducted in different towns, including Nakuru and Maralal.
