Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has accused Kenya Union of Post-Primary Teachers (KUPPET) of interfering in its dispute with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
In a letter addressed to KUPPET Secretary-General Akelo Misori, KNUT Secretary-General Wilson Sossion asked the union to keep off matters regarding them and the teachers.
KNUT also indicted KUPPET for not reacting when expected to join other unions in stopping TSC from anti-union activities.

The leadership of Education International and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) in a letter to Kenyatta pleads that TSC be stopped from delisting Knut members.
“The TSC should reverse its anti-union actions against Knut and engage in a serious dialogue and in good faith to restore healthy industrial relations and a good environment for quality education,” reads the letter dated January 22.

A video clip circulating on social media showing a student attacking teachers is one of the many cases of indiscipline recorded recently.
The Form Three student in a school in Kisii was reportedly being punished for reporting late.
Another student from Mokwerero Secondary School in Nyamira County is said to have attacked the school’s deputy principal with a panga.
