The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has issued a stern warning to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) against tabling a counter-proposal that lacks financial incentives in the upcoming 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Speaking during a press briefing attended by national and county KUPPET officials, union leaders insisted that teachers are demanding tangible financial benefits, not token promises.
The union noted that any CBA proposal lacking monetary gain will be considered a sign of disregard for the welfare of educators who continue to work under challenging economic conditions.

The union emphasised that its members are already grappling with rising living costs, inadequate housing, and a lack of essential allowances such as hardship and commuter stipends—issues that must be reflected in any meaningful agreement.
The union urged the TSC to treat the negotiation process with the seriousness it deserves.
As preparations for the 2025–2029 cycle intensify, KUPPET has made it clear: the era of symbolic agreements is over—teachers want results they can feel in their pay slips.
