Act or we mobilise teachers to leave North Eastern, Sossion tells governmentThe Secretary-General of Kenya National Union Teachers (Knut) Wilson Sossion has urged the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Education Prof George Magoha to convene a meeting with the union to discuss the plight of teachers deployed in North-Eastern region. Sossion said yesterday’s terror attack on the teachers was the fourth one and blamed the re-occurrence of the incidents on the poor staffing norms by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

He said that teachers drawn from other communities have become targets of the terrorists and their networks making it dangerous to deploy them. The commission in its statement did not hint at reviewing deployment policy but urged teachers serving in the region not to despair.
