But yesterday in a press statement, head of corporate communication Kihumba Kimotho said there are no pending cases of promotion to be effected.

Mr Kimotho added that promotions will only be done when due and within the 2017-2021 collective bargaining agreement framework signed between TSC and the Knut.

“During Thursday meeting there was no discussion of the purported pending cases of promotion for the 30,000 teachers,” Mr Kimotho said.

“It is misleading to teachers for anybody to appear to be committing TSC on promotion outside the CBA framework and existing policy. This creates unnecessary and unwanted expectations.”

On Thursday the TSC and Knut officials held a six-hour meeting at the TSC offices where the union agreed to call off the planned strike to allow for negotiations.
