The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET has given the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, seven days to reopen salary negotiations.

According to KUPPET, failure to reopen the talks will see teachers take industrial action over failed salary reviews. KUPPET will give the way forward after seven days.

Speaking during a press conference, KUPPET secretary-general Akello Misori said teachers have been yearning to receive better pay.

“The union is left with no option but to convene our organs to explore all avenues open to us and guide our members in their quest for a salary increment,” Misori said.

This is even as 2021 candidates are expected to start their national examinations on March 7. Misori said teachers are determined to ensure their employer listens to their demands.

“If TSC came here and told us that we can talk to you in three weeks then give a solution, why do we have to threaten a strike or industrial action?” he said.

Misori said the twenty-one-day period issued on January,22,2022 elapsed without receiving substantive communication from TSC.

“All the commission did was to acknowledge our letter and promise to respond substantively at a later stage after interrogating the contents,” Misori said.

Teachers have been asked to suspend plans to hold a strike until national examinations are completed. The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, through their lawyer, wrote to the KUPPET on February Wednesday.

Commission lawyer Calvin Anyuor said this year’s tight school calendar should not be subjected to any distraction. However, the commission promised to engage with relevant stakeholders in government to respond to the demands made by KUPPET
