The two teachers unions, Knut and Kuppet, are tonight threatening to call a nationwide teachers strike next week should treasury fail to immediately release over 11.3 billion shillings meant to fund both free primary and free day secondary education. And even as the unions threatened strike action, the treasury and the ministry of education sent conflicting statements on the funds availability, with both sides apparently not aware of what the other was doing to solve the problem that seems set to paralyse learning in schools.
