Teachers have protested a government move to strike off some regions previously listed as hardship areas.
This means that workers in these regions will not qualify for hardship allowance.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi announced plans to degazette 44 hardship zones as part of a strategy to cut Sh6 billion from the Sh25 billion annual budget for hardship allowances.
On Wednesday, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Teachers (Kuppet) Secretary General Akelo Misori termed the plan premature and unlawful, saying thousands of teachers will lose their hardship allowance.
