Teachers Service Commission has suffered yet another setback after the Employment and Labour Relations Court declined to stop the ongoing teachers strike.

Labour Court judge Monicah Mbaru did not declare the strike illegal as had been applied by TSC under a certificate of urgency on Thursday nor did she issue interim orders barring the the same.
