The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Kisii branch has given the Government an ultimatum to provide security for teachers working in North Eastern or face their wrath.
Gucha branch KNUT says the teaching fraternity in the country is not happy with the way some of their own are slaughtered like chicken in the region as the Government watched helplessly.
Speaking to more than 210 principals and head teachers from Gucha South Sub County at Nyamarambe town, the union executive secretary Joseph Makabe asked the Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i to issue a ministerial security statement on the fate of non-resident teachers in Wajir who now fear for their lives.
The unionist led the teachers to condemn the recent attack of non-resident teachers at Qarsa Primary School in Wajir that claimed three non-Muslim teachers.
Saying that tribalism is rife in the country, he asked the cabinet secretary for internal security to investigate the mysterious killing of teachers from other parts teaching in the North Eastern region.
Saying that Kenya has always fostered cohexistence, he asked the chairman of National Reconciliation and Cohesion Francis Kaparo to intervene and intensify peace campaigns in the whole country.
