The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is experiencing internal divisions as some officials demand the resignation of the union’s Secretary General, Akello Misori. The contention stems from a notice that announced the withdrawal of a strike, which some officials claim was issued without proper consultation or agreement within the union.

These divisions have brought to light disagreements within KUPPET’s leadership regarding the handling of recent labor disputes and negotiations with the government. Some members feel that Misori’s leadership is not effectively representing their interests, leading to calls for his resignation.

The withdrawal of the strike notice, which was meant to push for better pay and working conditions for teachers, has been disowned by a section of the union, who argue that the strike should have proceeded as planned. This internal rift could potentially weaken the union’s stance in future negotiations if not addressed promptly.
