Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has two weeks to honour its 2021-2025 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with unions, otherwise tutors will down their tools.
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet), Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) and Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (Kusnet) have given the government a 14-day ultimatum to present a concrete offer, failing which they will mobilise teachers for industrial action.
Kuppet Secretary General Akelo Misori said that teachers have been taken round in circles for a long time without commitment to honour the agreement. "There's no leadership vacuum at TSC.
We have an acting CEO in place, and what's lacking now is goodwill.
