ODM: Closing all schools is an attempt to intimidate teachers

ODM leaders say the government’s decision to order for the closure of all schools due to the ongoing nationwide teachers’ strike is not a solution to the current crisis in the education sector in the country.

In a press statement, ODM stated that the order by government to close all schools is an attempt to intimidate teachers who are exercising their democratic right to fair remuneration and the right to strike and picket.
