Their private loans were recalled...and the auditors were waiting to start work on a huge backlog. All that was required is a single member to file a complaint with The Registrar... I hope on my advice sent confidentially. The outcome is instantaneous. Who says I am not patriotic???
And before anybody says anything... I never agreed with ODM (my party) and CORD (my alliance) on the strike. I have never supported it. I have laughed at some of the silly actions taken by both sides, the last one being the silly lockout and hiring of new teachers.
I want more money in Education but not in Sossion's pocket
Next time Sossion wants to strike successfully, I would be ready to assist for free. The only condition will be KNUT agrees to ask for more money for Education and not for the teachers pockets.
Teachers have called off their strike and are expected to return to work on Monday.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers Secretary-General Wilson Sossion made the announcement Saturday after a meeting of the union’s national executive council in Nairobi.
Mr Sossion also asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to pay its members their September salary.
He said the union will not withdraw from a case in which TSC has appealed against the decision to award teachers the 50-60 per cent pay rise.
“Teachers will resume strike after 90 days if TSC will not honour the orders,” he said.
He also called for the rescheduling of the national examinations timetable to enable teachers prepare candidates.
Knut made the announcement as Kenya Union of Post Primary Teachers (Kuppet) decision making organ held a meeting.
Kuppet is set to address a press conference after the meeting Saturday.
On Thursday, the court ordered them to call off their month-long strike immediately.
Labour Court Judge Nelson Abuodha said he had ordered the unions to suspend the strike for 90 days and start negotiations with the government on the pay dispute.
The judge had directed Knut and Kuppet to form a committee with the Labour Cabinet secretary to discuss how best to implement the June 30 salary award of between 50 and 60 per cent.
