The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) took the row over membership in the Kenya Women Teachers Association (Kewota) to the Ethnics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) also took action, asking its members to keep of the lobby. DEDUCTIONSKnut's Secretary-General Wilson Sossion asked the EACC and the DCI to investigate officials at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for allegedly colluding with Kewota to recruit teachers without their knowledge. Knut collects about Sh140 million monthly while Kuppet collects Sh40 million, alongside agency fees from teachers who do not belong to any union. Mr Sossion said the union will not entertain union officials and officers out to "undermine Knut from within and to blackmail the trade union movement".
