Hundreds of post-secondary school teachers in Kisumu joined their colleagues across the country in demonstrating over unfulfilled conditions.
The teachers carried placards and blew whistles as they marched along the streets of Kisumu.
Led by the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Executive Secretary Zablon Awange, the group marched from Kondele towards the Central Business District (CBD).
The huge group went through the Kisumu-Kakamega highway and marched to the regional education offices where they presented a petition.

Earlier Awange had said they were going for nothing other than what was due to them, warning the national officials not to succumb to pressures to withdraw the industrial action.
Awange said junior secondary school teachers must be converted to permanent and pensionable terms without delay.
