NAIROBI: The fate of the planned teachers’ strike hangs in the balance after the Kenya National Parents Association (KNAP) obtained a court injunction to stop it.

Teachers issued a seven-day strike notice last week, after they accused the government of failing to honour their pay agreements. But the government has defended itself saying dialogue is ongoing.
