Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has denied reports that it promised to promote 30,000 teachers during a consultative meeting with Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut).

At the same time, Knut maintained that the strike is still on pending a second meeting scheduled next week to iron out the contentious labour issues.
