Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) leadership has called a crisis meeting even as it reacted angrily to the move by the teachers’ employer to demote its members and deduct their salaries to recover benefits they enjoyed for the last two years.

The Knut Steering Committee will meet tomorrow at the union’s head office to explore options, among them, summoning the National Executive Council, which is the union’s top decision-making organ.
