Kenya: The Trade Union Congress of Kenya Tuesday said it fully supported teachers on the quest to ensure their employer effects the 50-60 pc pay rise awarded by the court.

TUC-Ke, an umbrella body for teachers and civil servants' unions, asked teachers to stay away from work until the Teachers Service Commission honours the court ruling.
