Mr Ndolo termed the demand nonsensical, angering the headteachers, with some walking towards the dais. Others threw bottles and sprinkled water on the table where Mr Ndolo and other officials were seated, demanding an apology.
NDOLO APOLOGISED
After an intervention, Mr Ndolo apologized to the delegates, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. He was whisked away to a room to allow the tension to cool down as the headteachers called for his impeachment.
The association uses the fees to run its affairs. It has a membership of 23,000 delegates, meaning it collects more than Sh11 million monthly if each pays Sh500.
In a separate interview with journalists, Mr Ndolo said he will not heed to the calls by some of the disgruntled members to quit. “My presentation was acknowledged by the teachers, but my deputy went to the dais and provoked the members,” Mr Ndolo said.
On the monthly deductions, Mr Ndolo said it was a resolution passed during last year’s meeting. “Why are they revisiting the issue? Somebody must have poisoned their minds,” he said.
