Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) Vihiga branch officials have criticised the National Assembly Education Committee's decision to reject the recent promotion of more than 25,000 teachers.

The officials accused the lawmakers of overreaching their mandate and interfering with the professional independence of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
