Knut in talks with government over teachers' strike

-->

NAIROBI, KENYA: Talks between Kenya National Union of Teachers ( KNUT) and the government in a bid to end teachers’ strike is currently on.
However the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has been locked out of the meeting on Knut’s request.
Labour Cabinet Minister Kazungu Kambi and Principal Secretary Ali Ismail are in attendance.
The two sides walked out of the meeting at around 1 am Wednesday with Knut national chairman Wilson Sossion saying they have not agreed on anything yet and that the strike was still on.
Kambi however said the talks are not over as the two teams have walked out ‘to consult’.
Knut is yet to call off the strike despite Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers ( KUPPET) calling off theirs to allow negotiations with the Government.
On Tuesday, Knut officials said they will not return to work despite an order by the Industrial Court.
