Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Wilson Sossion now claims that the Teacher’s Service Commission is out on a mission to cripple them.

A letter from KNUT dated November 9 addressed to Labour CS Simon Chelugui, reads that the Union’s office has raised concern over a number of issues to the CS yet nothing has been done to date.

“All these matters have remained unresolved and your office has gone quiet about it whereas the TSC has continued to cripple the operations of Knut by attacking the check-off system, hence systematically, gradually diminishing the resources of the union,” Reads the letter in part.

Sossion said that KNUT’s check-off system was withdrawn by the commission during the months of July, August, and December 2019 and for the rest of the months.

He said that the commission has been offloading Knut members massively, contrary to the provision of Section 48 of the Labour Relations Act.

According to Sossion, the intention of offloading members is to create wrangles in the union, stopping its operations including meetings, and training.

“…messaging from TSC urging Knut leaders to change its leadership in the office of the secretary-general for the checkoff to be reinstated.”

The union argues that 153,159 members have been dropped in less than 18 months.

Sossion has asked the Labour CS to intervene and address the matters which are affecting its operations in seven days.
