Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (KUPPET) teachers from West Pokot have threatened to down tools if three teachers captured in the Chesegon area by a multi-agency security team are not released.
This comes as security agencies suspend peace committee meetings and order the criminals in the Kerio Valley to surrender their arms following a fresh wave of killings in the region. According to KUPPET, the three teachers were arrested by the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) officers while entering the school gate.
The three teachers from Arpollo Mixed Day and Boarding Primary School and Cheptulel Girls are yet to be seen after their arrest. "These are teachers who are arrested at the school gate, armed only with a chalk and a pen.
And we are wondering, the same president last month commissioned and instructed TSC to employ 100 teachers so that the schools around the border can be opened.
