President Uhuru Kenyatta has convinced the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) to agree to fresh pay negotiations, a day after a similar deal exposed divisions in another giant teachers’ union.

Kuppet officials agreed to return to talks with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), just like their counterparts, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut).
