How teacher’s commission orchestrated Knut’s downfall

 

July of 2019 is perhaps the date that marked the beginning of the troubles for the once giant teachers union KNUT. A series of disagreements on the promotion of teachers, transfer, and registration had opened up a legal battle between the Teacher Service Commission and the Kenya National Union of Teachers.

The court case, filed by the TSC turned to be the bedrock of the union's downfall. The outcome of the case was ruled on July 12 by Labour relations court Bryam Ongaya and largely favoured KNUT. While KNUT boasted of the win, the TSC tactically implemented the verdict to craft the end of the road for the union.
