NAKURU: The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Government to provide the union with a proposed counter-offer, failure to which it will take industrial action.

The demand comes after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) withdrew a proposed counter-offer at a consultative meeting between Kuppet and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) on Tuesday, despite having tabled it last week.
