WATCH:
Addressing the press in a joint Interview with KNUT Unionists outside the Director of Education’s office, Bungoma County; KUPPET Branch Executive Secretary General, Augustine Kundu Luketelo allegedly said that the current director Pius Ng’oma has been visiting schools across the county soliciting funds hence delaying their clearance of school’s capitation intended for infrastructural development .
According to Luketelo, the director has frustrated heads of institutions during the school games, drama and music competitions by not disbursing funds on time hence delaying their timely participation in the Co-Curicular Activities.

Luketelo also called upon President Dr.William Ruto to desist from dishing out Teachers Service Commission TSC Employment forms to politicians in state house, citing that it is going against the Labor Laws and demoralizing teachers who graduated earlier since recent granduands are being favored through Nepotism.
His sentiments have been echoed by Bungoma East KNUT branch executive secretary Robert Mandila who said that the director has been snubbing meetings with them to discuss the state of Education in the county through an all inclusive Stakeholders engagement .
Mandila called upon on the cabinet secretary of education Julius Migos Ogamba to transfer the director over the Strenuous working Relationship with Education stakeholders .
