The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers has suspended its strike to allow for structured negotiations with the government. Kuppet officials asked its members to report back to class Wednesday as the union proceeds with negotiations as directed by the court. The union’s move put to the test the solidarity between the teachers in fighting for better pay. The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) has said the strike is still on and it is not interested in negotiations. Kuppet Secretary- General Akelo Misori said the union’s National Governing Council met Tuesday and agreed to suspend the strike in order to allow talks. "Kuppet believes in the rule of law and shall obey the orders of the Court issued on July 1. We cannot go against the court. We have always been willing to obey court orders,” Mr Misori said during a press conference at the Railways Club in Nairobi Tuesday
