NAIROBI: Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has threatened to push for the disbandment of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for frustrating teachers.

Speaking yesterday during the 15th Annual Delegates Meeting at Tourist Hotel in Bungoma, Kuppet Chairman Omboko Milemba said that TSC had ceded its independence to other State organs. He noted that the Commission did not respect court orders and made decisions influenced by political considerations.
