Five Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) officials have thrice, in different courts, lost their bid to force the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to probe the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) over an alleged Sh200 deduction for social welfare.

In what Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) Justice James Rika termed a classical case of abuse of court, Paul Kipchumba, William Lengoiyap, Robert Miano, Peter Oluoch and Jentrix Ogola filed separate cases in Malindi, then moved to Meru Court after losing, and subsequently filed a third case before Justice Rika.
