Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) Vihiga branch officials have criticised the National Assembly Education Committee's decision to reject the recent promotion of more than 25,000 teachers.
The officials accused the lawmakers of overreaching their mandate and interfering with the professional independence of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
Kuppet officials led by Vihiga branch Secretary General Sabala Inyeni, said the move as unlawful and detrimental to the morale and career progression of teachers nationwide. "The decision by MPs to demand the cancellation of the list of promotions published by the TSC is illegal, reckless, and undermines the commission's autonomy," Inyeni said.
The unionist insisted that MPs lack the expertise and authority to determine which teachers deserve promotion.
