The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) remains firmly committed to championing and safeguarding the welfare, rights, and interests of teachers across the country.
The government should honour the agreement reached during our State House engagement by ensuring that the remaining 16,000 teachers are promoted as agreed. Our teachers deserve recognition and career progression commensurate with their dedication and service to the nation.
Furthermore, the Government should take full responsibility for ensuring that all pupils and students representing Kenya at the forthcoming FEASSA Games in Morogoro, Tanzania, have their Yellow Fever vaccination certificates and Temporary Passports processed and secured in good time. Parents should not be unnecessarily burdened with costs and logistical responsibilities that should be handled by the Government.
I made these remarks at Bituyu Comprehensive School in Tongaren, where I represented the Secretary General, Bro. Collins Henry Oyuu, during a thanksgiving ceremony for Bro. Issa Ndukuyu, Branch Executive Secretary, KNUT Bungoma North Branch.
