    Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) took to the streets ignoring a court order that termed their strike illegal.

    Kwale ĶUPPET Executive Secretary Leonard Oronje said that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has paid salaries but not union dues adding that their grievances have not been acted upon.
    Oronje stated that there is a shortage of about 20,000 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers.
     He demanded for their employment as well as promotion of the 1,030 teachers who were interviewed.
    “The 22 billion meant for medical scheme has been reduced to 11 billion putting the teachers’ health at risk,” said Mr. Oronje.
    The teachers also raised issue with deduction with no disbursment of the 3rd party deductions.
    This includes SACCOS, bank loans and NHIF. They also demanded for the enhancement of CBA.
    “The 46,000 interns should receive a proper contract and their salaries increased,” said Oronje disclosing their salary is at Kshs. 17,000.
    KUPPET’s official im Kwale county, Umi Maloba said that there were letters making rounds asking JSS teachers to renew their contract.
    This contract was earlier on declared to be illegal by the court.
    “We want the Career Progression Guideline (CPG) to be reviewed. We can’t have deputy principals and principals in the acting capacity for more than 5 years, let their positions be confirmed,” said Jacob Mazarimu, Chairman KUPPET Kwale County.
    They have promised to continue with their strike next week if nothing is done.
