Details have emerged over a heated exchange between the unions and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) over the disputed Social Health Authority (SHA) medical cover.

In a meeting yesterday, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) raised frustrations among their members, citing bureaucratic delays in accessing treatment, poor service delivery, and the failure by the cover to provide key benefits as promised.
