The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) is crying foul over this week’s transfer of 500 head teachers, which it says affected more than 50 of its officials in the counties.
Also affected are officials of the Kenya Primary School Heads Association (Kepsha) and Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (Kessha), and sacco officials.
“The transfers of elected union representatives from their current jurisdiction constitutes an attack on the trade union rights and leadership of teachers’ associations, and investments are equally severely affected,” Knut Secretary-General Wilson Sossion said yesterday during a press conference in Nairobi.
