[Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard]Teachers wishing to return to Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) can now do so after the employer opened the registration portal. Teachers Service Commission (TSC) reopened the Third Party TPAY portal where teachers can visit to exit or rejoin unions and associations. As fights between TSC and Knut intensified in August last year, the union accused the teachers’ employer of opening the portal and compelling members to exit the union. Knut also said TSC ran parallel payroll to push teachers to exit Knut. Dr Macharia said the Commission acted based on Knut members' requests to leave the union as per the provisions of Labour Relations Act.
