Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Kisii County branch Executive Secretary Joseph Abincha has expressed concern about matters he said are causing him personal distress and threats to his life.
He revealed that his vehicle was broken into few days ago by unknown people and several personal important documents stolen including the letter which was later left behind.
“But the appointment letter, though left behind, was placed on the back seat and suspiciously doused in a strange substance,” stated the message.
He said that the act might have been done deliberately to scare and intimidate him but he thanked God for the protection over his life and family.
The secretary further expounded how he was troubled, confused and deeply concerned about the whole incident only to discover later that the same letter taken by the unknown people was being circulated on the social digital platforms prayed the malicious interims not to prosper.
