Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Wilson Sossion has called on Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to stop interfering with Union’s affairs.
Speaking in Nakuru on Sunday during a meeting with KNUT members from different regions,Sossion noted that TSC was trying to paralyze the functionality of the Union by scraping off members.
According to Sossion,a democratic government should not interfere with unions whatsoever.
He also called on TSC to stop interfering with the ongoing KNUT elections adding that he is ready to lead teachers.
“TSC cannot put us at war with goverment.Let them stop interfering with Union including who should be leading the Union” said Sossion.
KNUT has also called on TSC to return the 2019 teachers register to enable the Union run teachers affairs.
Sossion said the continued inteference with Union has seen ongoing branch elections done with no money.
He was however quick to note that that will no deter the Union from its operations.
“We have continued with branch elections without money and we shall go on up to the national level and ensure credible elections” said Sossion.
Similar sentiments echoed by
Riftvalley Regional Council KNUT Secretary Maurice Wanjala and KNUT Riftvalley Chairman Maurice Barchok.
