The branch leadership now is calling for resignation of the TSC Macharia if she cannot incorporate all the stakeholders in decision making. Speaking in Mumias on Friday Wabuti said the union will defy the circular until there is enough consultation and a common grounds reached. “We are against the circular and through the national office and officials we will launch a complaint with TSC,” said Wabuti. Wabuti called for a complete overhaul of the commission saying it has been mismanaging teachers’ affairs thus causing confusion in the education sector. “If it’s possible the law should be changed so that matters concerning teachers can be taken back to the Ministry of Education” he said. The union is calling for the commission to focus on important issues affecting the education sector including lack of sufficient teachers in schools and poor pay. “With a shortage of teaching staff across the country, how will teachers go for study leave and leave the learners,” said Mr Wabuti.
