President Uhuru Kenyatta's directive that teachers be paid their September salaries drew mixed reaction with a section welcoming the move while others insisting the money was their right.
Some Kenya National Union of Teachers officials faulted the move by their chairman, Mudzo Nzili, and other top officials to attend a meeting at State House where the deal was brokered. They described the absence of Secretary General Wilson Sossion from the meeting as a big betrayal.
