The case is an attempt by the Teachers Service Commission to rectify what it perceives as a shortcoming in the September 2015 judgment by Justice Nelson Abuodha. WITHDRAW CASEThe commission is also questioning the decision to force it to pay teachers who were on strike their full salaries. “Mr Muigai should explain to teachers why he advised the TSC to appeal and allow the case to remain in court,” said Mr Sossion. While meeting the teachers and the TSC officials in November 2015, President Kenyatta asked all parties to withdraw all their cases pending in court to allow fresh negotiations. COURT DATEKnut and TSC were then embroiled in a long standing dispute over 50 to 60 per cent salary increase for teachers for many years.
