Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Wilson Sossion was on Monday blocked from accessing his office at KNUT Headquaters, along Mfangano Street, Nairobi.

Drama ensued outside the offices after heavily-built men blocked KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion from accessing his office.

The men, who were standing at the building’s entrance stayed put insisting that they could not go against the directive saying they were under strict instructions not to allow him into the building.

Sossion said that: “I am the elected and legitimate KNUT Secretary General and you cannot block me from accessing my work station.” One of the men engaged him, explaining why he would not allow him in.

However, the men declined to disclose who his instructor was and which security firm he was working for.

Sossion was recently issued a temporary court order by the Employments and Labour Relations court. The court order states that Sossion is legitimately appointed Secretary General and any authority prohibited from interfering with his performance pending a court hearing on Thursday May 10.

Sossion was suspended on April 30 by a section of National Executive Council of KNUT during a meeting at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development.

However, according to the court order, the suspension had been put on hold pending the hearing.
