The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) headed by Secretary General Wilson Sossion is planning to file a lawsuit against the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). In July 2019, the membership stood at over 187,000 and earned the union Ksh144 million in monthly union payout from TSC. Teachers Service Commission (TSC) CEO Nancy Macharia addresses National Assembly's education committee on February 19, 2020. In 2019, 110 branches of the union suffered cash crisis after TSC failed to deduct dues from members' pay. In Mid-October, Sossion asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to increase their pay by up to 200 percent due to the impact of Covid-19 and inflation.
