A teachers’ union has taken the battle to have deductions from 16,000 teachers remitted to it to court.

The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) wants the court to compel the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to remit the dues to it and not its rival, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut).
