UNION OFFICIALS
Mr Sossion, who was accompanied by acting Chairman Wycliffe Omucheyi, Deputy Secretary-General Hesborne Otieno, and acting national Treasurer James Ndiku, among others, said the move is disruptive and asked the Teachers Service Commission to stop it immediately.
“We have done our tabulation and so far more than 50 union leaders, including branch chairmen, treasurers and women representatives are affected and by the end of the week we will have the full list,” Mr Sossion said.
“Several Kepsha and Kessha officials are also affected, but I know they cannot speak out since they are not trade unions.”
The development means that Knut, Kepsha and Kessha, among other associations will have to elect new officials since those transferred have until today to move to their new stations.
Knut secretary general Wilson Sossion yesterday urged the Teachers Service Commission to halt mass transfer of teachers.
Addressing the media at the Knut headquarters in Nairobi, he said stakeholders were not involved in policy formulation.
He says the move by the TSC to adopt staffing rules without consultation with teachers and their unions is demoralising their members.
“The teaching profession has been ambushed by its own employer. TSC cannot make decisions touching on teachers without involving us,” Sossion said.
