Former Secretary General of the Kenya Servants Union Dr. Isaac Newton Kinity has come out to support Kenyan teachers and the Kenya Civil Servants in their planned strikes to demand for their rights.
Dr. Kinity says this is noble towards pressuring Government of the day to meet their demands.
“I support the Kenyan Teachers and the Kenya Civil Servants in their planned strikes to demand their rights,” he stated.
The former Unionist says the teachers, the civil servants, the military, all other workers in Kenya, and the unemployed youth should not be denied their rights for adequate pay, allowances, salary payments on time, and the jobs availability.
According to him, all the loans and all the grants given to Kenya that would have helped to ease the problems in Kenya, are looted and hidden abroad and while the Kenyan legislatures award themselves millions in salaries.
He faulted President William Ruto for claiming that all the loans and all the grants he has received have gone to the old projects.
Dr. Kinity says the projects being opened everyday by the current regime were completed and opened many years ago by former Presidents.
“The IMF, the World Bank and the entire donor community should stop aid to Kenya immediately as all the money that has been loaned to Kenya and all the grants that have been given to Kenya are lost through corruption,” he said.
The former Unionist has called in government to respect the demands of the teachers and other civil servants.
He says, there should be no relent in pushing for the rights of workers who contribute to the development of the country through tax remittance.
“We were instrumental to what happened in 1997 when aid to Kenya was stopped, and we are still alive today. The donor community, who includes China, USA, and Britain, among others, should not provide any more loans and grants until Government proves exactly what was achieved with the previous loans and grants, instead of reopening the old projects that were completed many years ago,” he said.
