The  Ministry  of   Education  through  the  Teachers  Service  Commission ( TSC ) has been  called upon  to  stop  forcing    teachers  to be  vaccinated  against  the  Covid-19  virus.

Bungoma county Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Executive  Secretary  Ken Nganga said that the Covid-19 jab should  be taken by the  teachers voluntarily  and not by use of threats and intimidation by their employer TSC .

Nganga  who is also an executive member of the National Executive Council (NEC )  said that   the statement issued recently  by the  TSC Boss Nancy Macharia  concerning the  mandatory  vaccination exercise  for all teachers is against  the International  Labour laws as contained in the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
