The Kenya National Union of Teachers' chairman Wilson Sossion has today Wednesday 24th July, threatened to call a teachers' revolution against the Salaries and Remuneration Commission if the teachers will not be paid their July salaries as agreed in the deal they signed with he government.
This comes a few days after the SRC chairperson Sarah Serem sent a stern warning to the teachers' employer TSC, not to pay them for July. She said it is unconstitutional to pay for services not rendered and therefore, teachers should not be paid since they were not in class.
She warned the TSC secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni that he will be held liable if he makes any payments regarding the teachers' July salaries.
But speaking today, the KNUT chairman, warned the SRC to stay away from teachers' matters or else they face their full wrath.
Mr. Sossion said that paying teachers their full dues was part of the deal that they signed with the Jubilee government bringing to an end their 24 days old strike. He observed that anything contrary to that will be met with full resistance from the teachers.
He also urged the Jubilee government to honour its part of the bargain and let the teachers work in peace.
