A dark cloud once again hangs over the education sector after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) walked out of salary talks with teachers yesterday.
Predictably, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) threatened to call a nationwide strike if the Ministry of Labour does not intervene within seven days. Last year, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the two parties to sit down and hammer out a deal by next week. However, going by yesterday's development, it is unlikely that this deadline will be met.
