KUPPET urged to call off their ongoing strike

The head of the public service, Felix Koskei, has urged the Kenya union of post-primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) to call off their ongoing strike and respect the court order. However, KUPPET has directed its members to attend religious services in preparation for major demonstrations on monday. The union insists the strike will continue until a return-to-work formula is signed. Meanwhile, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has stated that no negotiations will take place until teachers comply with the court order. KUPPET has also reported that some of their members are being threatened with arrests.
