Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion’s misery continued yesterday after teachers’ representatives from Rift Valley endorsed Collins Oyuu to challenge him in the upcoming union polls.
Teachers from 21 out of the 25 branches in the region unanimously backed Mr Oyuu, currently Knut’s acting national chairman for the secretary-general post in next month’s Special Delegates Conference where new official will be elected.
Early this month, a Nairobi Employment and Labour Relations court dismissed Sossion’s attempt to save his position as a teacher after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) deregistered him.
It was also not clear whether all the 230,000 teachers selected to take part in the administration of the KCPE and KCSE will be vaccinated ahead of the examinations.
Some of these teachers who will be invigilators and supervisors are below 50 years which in not within the group targeted for the jab.
Whether TSC s field officers and the secretariat staff will also be vaccinated also remained unclear.
