KUPPET Threatens Strike In Nyamira Over Alleged Intimidation Of Principal The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has threatened a county-wide strike in Nyamira following allegations that a local principal is being harassed and intimidated by Catholic clergy and school board members. In a formal petition to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) dated Wednesday, September 2, KUPPET Nyamira Branch Executive Secretary Ayieko Mogaka reported that the newly deployed principal of St. Peter’s Nyakemincha Senior School has faced continuous interference since assuming office on August 21. According to the union, members of the Kisii Diocese Catholic Education Committee and the school’s Board of Management (BOM) are attempting to force the principal out in order to install a preferred candidate. “On behalf of the teachers of Nyamira County… I wish to draw the attention of the Teachers Service Commission… on the persistent, irregular, unlawful and unprocedural acts of harassment, intimidation and interference with the discharge of duty by the duly deployed principal,” the union stated. KUPPET expressed deep concern that those involved have vowed to escalate their opposition to the new administrator. Union Demands Investigation into Sponsor Influence In response, the union has called on the TSC, the Ministry of Education, and law enforcement agencies to urgently investigate the matter and take disciplinary action against those responsible. Furthermore, KUPPET raised concerns over sponsor interference in public schools, calling for an inquiry into perceptions that transfer recommendations by church-sponsored education committees are frequently driven by nepotism, clanism, and favoritism. Warning of swift industrial action, KUPPET declared that if the harassment does not cease immediately, teachers across the region will down their tools. “If the Catholic Church or BOM continue to intimidate, harass or prevent the principal from discharging his lawful responsibilities… then all the teachers who are members of KUPPET, Nyamira branch shall withdraw labour and proceed for peaceful processions across the county,” the statement warned.
