A top organ of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) yesterday voted to oust Secretary General Wilson Sossion and immediately began the process of removing his name at the Registrar of Trade Unions.

After the chaos that saw the police fire teargas canisters to disperse rowdy teachers allied to Mr Sossion, National Executive Council (NEC) officials broke into the union offices in Nairobi for the meeting yesterday that ended with his toppling.
