The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has expressed hope that Supreme Court judges will rule in their favour in the salary dispute between them and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

The union, which has threatened to paralyse learning in public schools at the opening of the next term after their employer failed to factor in a 50-60 per cent salary increment in their August payslips as earlier ordered by the Court of Appeal, said members were optimistic after winning the case in the lower courts.
